Mormon Temple Helsinki Finland by More Good Foundation

The decision to build a Mormon Temple in Helsinki, Finland was first announced in the April 2000 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the 124th operating temple for the Mormon Church and the third in the Nordic countries—Stockholm, Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark, being the other two. The First Presidency of the Mormon Church announced a public open house for the Helsinki Temple beginning on September 23, 2006 and ending on October 7, 2006. Though Church membership numbered only 4,500 in this Lutheran nation after 59 years of proselyting, response to the public open house of the Helsinki Finland Temple was staggering. Of the 55,633 total visitors, 5,711 submitted comment cards and 2,713 requested a Book of Mormon delivered by missionaries (LDSChurchTemples.com). At the time of its dedication, the Helsinki Finland Temple assumed a temple district that stretched over two continents and 12 time zones, including the Baltic states and the entire country of Russia. The Helsinki Finland Temple was the last temple dedicated by President Gordon B. Hinckley before his passing on Sunday, January 27, 2008. He had dedicated or rededicated 98 of the 124 operating temples of the Church.
