Site dedication of the Brussels Belgium Temple
The construction phase for the Brussels Belgium Temple began Nov. 22, 2025, with Elder Jack N. Gerard — a General Authority Seventy and first counselor in the Europe Central Area presidency — presiding at the site dedication. Since the Brussels temple is being built in an existing metropolitan area building, no groundbreaking or turning of the soil took place.
Elder Gerard said that in Brussels, many of God’s children “from various lands come together in union to find peace, prosperity and understanding in this world.” In his dedicatory prayer on the Brussels temple site, Elder Gerard pleaded, “We ask Thee to bless it as a place where Thy children, regardless of their culture or language, will find union with Thee through the sacred ordinances of the temple.”
