Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple

The Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in the Port-au-Prince suburb of Pétionville, Haiti. It is located adjacent to an existing meetinghouse at the intersection of Route de Frères (Delmas 105) and Impasse Saint-Marc (Frères 23).
History.
The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 5, 2015, during the Sunday morning session of the church's general conference. The Abidjan Ivory Coast and Bangkok Thailand temples were announced at the same time.
At a stake conference in Port-au-Prince on March 12, 2017, apostle Neil L. Andersen announced that a location for the temple had been selected and acquired. On October 28, 2017, a groundbreaking ceremony to signify the beginning of construction took place, with Walter F. González presiding.
In August 2018, the LDS Church announced that Fritzner A. Joseph, a former president of the Haiti Port-au-Prince Mission, would serve as the temple's first president following its dedication.
On November 14, 2018, the LDS Church originally announced that the temple was scheduled for dedication on May 19, 2019. On January 18, 2019, the church provided new dates, announcing the public open house that was held from August 3 through August 17, 2019, excluding Sundays. The temple was dedicated on September 1, 2019 by David A. Bednar.
In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Temple district.
At the time of its dedication, the temple district includes the five stakes and four districts in Haiti, in which approximately 24,000 members reside.
