Hermosillo, capital of the northern state of Sonora, was one of the first areas in Mexico to have Mormon missionaries.
History
[edit]The church announced the building of the temple in Hermosillo on 20 July 1998. LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Hermosillo Sonora Mexico Temple on February 27, 2000.[1] The temple has a total floor area of 10,769 square feet (1,000.5 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.[1]
In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Hermosillo Sonora Mexico Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[2]
