The church announced the building of the temple in Hermosillo on 20 July 1998. LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Hermosillo Sonora Mexico Temple on February 27, 2000.[1] The temple has a total floor area of 10,769 square feet (1,000.5 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.[1]
