Facts and practical information

The Calgary Alberta Temple stands as a serene and sacred edifice in the bustling city of Calgary, Canada. This temple, a significant spiritual landmark for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, offers a place of worship and reflection amidst the urban landscape.

Dedicated in 2012, the Calgary Alberta Temple is one of the newer temples constructed by the Church. It is characterized by its modern design with traditional architectural elements, including a soaring spire topped with a golden statue of the angel Moroni, a common feature of Latter-day Saint temples symbolizing the spreading of the gospel.

The temple's exterior is clad in a light gray granite, which shimmers in the sunlight, creating a visually striking contrast against the often blue Alberta skies. The grounds are meticulously landscaped with a variety of flora that bloom throughout the seasons, providing a tranquil oasis for both visitors and patrons.

While the interior of the temple is not open to the general public, as access is reserved for church members in good standing, the exterior and surrounding grounds are accessible and offer a glimpse into the serene beauty of the site. The temple serves as a hub for various religious ordinances and ceremonies, including marriage sealings and baptisms for the deceased, which are central to Latter-day Saint beliefs.

The Calgary Alberta Temple is not just a building; it is a symbol of faith and a beacon of peace for those who visit. The temple's presence in the city serves as a reminder of the spiritual dimensions of life and provides a unique and reflective space for those who come to its doors.
