Salvaged and Reborn from Ashes, Provo City Center Temple Is Dedicated The Provo City Center Temple, the 150th operating temple in the Church and the second in Provo, was dedicated March 20, salvaged from the ashes and scorched walls of the pioneer-era Provo Tabernacle as if to symbolize the spiritual rebirth and renewal that comes from receiving temple blessings and returning frequently. Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, whose boyhood roots run deep in Provo and the surrounding Utah Valley, presided over the three dedicatory sessions throughout the day.

“Thank you to the many who have gathered here on University Avenue to witness this symbolic completion of the Provo City Center Temple,” Elder Oaks said to about 300 onlookers gathered on the temple grounds on the east side. “That symbolic completion is our placing some mortar around this portion of the temple, which represents in a symbolic way the cornerstone and which will have a box of important artifacts placed within it.”. 4,500 Youth Participate in Provo City Center Temple Cultural Celebration More than 4,500 youth from the Provo and Springville areas showed their enthusiasm for the dedication of another temple in Provo through music and dance on the evening of March 19. “I am thrilled to be with you,” Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said in his opening remarks at the event.

I felt from the get-go that the program needed to revolve around this building.” Pioneer history, personal sacrifice, patriotism, the arts and service were represented in dance numbers and song.
