Mormon Times: Curitiba Brazil Temple to open for tours
CURITIBA, Brazil — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had its beginnings in this country in a small German community called Joinville. The handful of early members in the congregation couldn’t have imagined that nearly three-quarters of a century later a Latter-day Saint temple would be constructed less than 100 miles away in the city of Curitiba.
The doors of the new Curitiba Brazil Temple will open for public tours on 10 May. The open house for members of the public will continue through 24 May, excluding Sundays.
“This temple is evidence of the growth of the Church in Brazil,” says local Church spokesman, Fernando Assis. “It is the fifth temple constructed on Brazilian soil. The other four are located in São Paulo, Recife, Porto Alegre and Campinas. A sixth is planned for Manaus.”
