The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple was the 13th temple built in Utah
The Oquirrh Mountain Temple and the
Jordan River Temple were the first pair of
temples to be built in the same city.
Lightning struck the angel Moroni Statue atop the Oquirrh Mountain
on June 13, 2009. The powerful bolt of lightning
blackened Moroni's trumpet, arm, and face.
A replacement statue was installed on August 11, 2019
President Thomas S. Monson dedicated
the Oquirrh Mountain temple on his 82nd birthday.
For the first time in Utah's history,
church was cancelled statewide on August 23, 2009
to allow members to attend the dedication
