Montreal Quebec Temple
The Montreal Quebec Temple is the 86th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is located in Longueuil, Quebec, across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal. The intent to construct the temple was announced on August 6, 1998, by church president Gordon B. Hinckley during a visit to Canada. It became the first temple built in Quebec and the sixth in Canada. The temple has a single spire with a gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni on its top, and is constructed from Bethel white granite. It was designed by architect Andrij Serbyn of Sichten Soiferman and the church's architectural services group, using a classic modern style. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 9, 1999, led by Gary J. Coleman, a church general authority. The temple was dedicated on June 4, 2000.
From 2014 to 2015, the temple underwent extensive renovations due to water damage, including structural upgrades, new ordinance room murals, and remediation efforts. It was rededicated on November 22, 2015, by Henry B. Eyring of the church's First Presidency. To celebrate the rededication, more than 400 youth participated in a cultural event titled Je me souviens, reflecting the area's rich spiritual and cultural legacy.
The temple was announced by church president Gordon B. Hinckley on August 6, 1998, during a visit to Montreal as part of a nine-day trip to Canada. The temple was built on a 2.4-acre (0.97 ha) property located at 1450 Boulevard Marie-Victorin in Longueuil, Quebec, near the shore of the St. Lawrence River. The temple's floor plan is 11,550 square feet.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on April 9, 1999, marking the commencement of construction. This ceremony was presided over by Gary J. Coleman, a counselor in the presidency of the North America Northeast Area, and attended by more than 450 local church members and community leaders. The temple was built on the site of a former automobile dealership, which was demolished to make way for construction. The dealership's garage was still standing when ground was broken for the temple.
Following completion of construction, the church announced the public open house that was held from May 20 to May 27, 2000, where approximately 10,000 people visited the temple.
The Montreal Quebec Temple was dedicated on June 4, 2000, by Hinckley, who also placed the cornerstone and had help from local children in placing the mortar. About 6,000 members attended the four dedicatory sessions. At the time of its dedication, the temple served more than 12,200 church members from the Montréal; Ottawa, Ontario; Montpelier, Vermont; and upstate New York areas.
In 2020, like all the church's others, the Montreal Quebec Temple was temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Montreal Quebec Temple has a classic modern architectural style, and was designed by architect Andrij Serbyn, Sichten Soiferman, and church architectural personnel, with William Treu as project manager, and Opron Inc. as the general contractor.
