**All are invited to the open house for the St. George Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Admission is free; reservations are recommended. Comfortable shoes and modest dress are recommended. Wheelchair accessible. Service animals are not permitted in the temple. Please refrain from smoking on temple property.** Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are considered houses of God, a place of holiness and peace separate from the preoccupations of the world. They provide a place where Church members make formal promises and commitments to God. They are also the place where the highest sacraments of the faith occur - the marriage of couples and the "sealing" of families for eternity. Temples serve as the only place where ceremonies such as baptism and eternal marriage can be performed on behalf of those who have died. Temples point Latter-day Saints to Jesus Christ and their eventual life with Him.
