President Monson Breaks Ground for Rome Italy Mormon Temple

Construction has begun in the "eternal" city for a new Latter-day Saint temple. Thomas S. Monson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with Church and local community leaders, participated in the traditional groundbreaking ceremony for the Rome Italy Temple 23 October 2010.

President Monson underlined the uniqueness and the historical moment whose importance goes beyond the borders of Rome and Italy. He thanked the members of the Church for their commitment to follow the example of Jesus Christ.

"My heart is filled with gratitude," said President Monson as he addressed the 500 guests in attendance. "Members throughout Italy, and the entire Mediterranean area, will be able to come here."

Though I have much respect for the LDS Church. This just shows the Catholic Church in Europe needs to become more relevant and live out the faith Jesus gave us.

Felicitaciones para los Santos de los Ültimos Días de Italia y para todo el pueblo de esa bella nación de Europa. Las bendiciones de un Santo Templo de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, la única iglesia verdadera y viviente de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sobre la tierra, son como rocio del cielo, como lluvia de bendiciones que emana de las manos de nuestro amado Padre Celestial. Felicitaciones hermanos y que nuestro Señor Jesucristo los bendiga siempre.

My mother went on a mission to Roma. It was such a great blessing to see her the session that the temple was to be announced. Now it's really physically happening. What a great thing to see.
