Temple Preparation

President Howard W. Hunter said, “I invite the Latter-day Saints to look to the temple of the Lord as the great symbol of your membership. It is the deepest desire of my heart to have every member of the Church worthy to enter the temple. It would please the Lord if every adult member would be worthy of—and carry—a current temple recommend. The things that we must do and not do to be worthy of a temple recommend are the very things that ensure we will be happy as individuals and as families.”

The St. Paul Minnesota Temple

Plans to construct the temple were announced 29 July 1998, Church leaders broke ground 26 September 1998, and Gordon B. Hinckley, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1995 to 2008, dedicated the St. Paul Minnesota Temple 9 January 2000. The temple serves Latter-day Saints in Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin and Manitoba, Canada.

Bringing People to Christ through Family History

Because we believe the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are available to those here on earth, as well as those who have died, we advocate and make available resources for seeking out our ancestors.
