A free public open house will start on Monday, January 25, and will go through Saturday, February 6, 2016. It will be available every day except for Sunday, January 31.
The temple will be rededicated in three sessions on Sunday, February 21, 2016, with a Cultural Celebration taking place on Saturday, February 20 at 3:00 p.m.
The rededicatory sessions will be held at 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. and will be broadcast to meetinghouses in the Suva Fiji Temple district. The three-hour block of meetings will be cancelled for that Sunday to allow members to participate in the rededication services.
The temple serves Latter-day Saints in Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
President Gordon B. Hinckley originally dedicated the temple in June of 2000. It was one of the first temples built during the Church’s plan to locate temples closer to its members.
Latter-day Saint temples differ from the Church’s meetinghouses or chapels where members meet for Sunday worship services. Temples are considered “Houses of the Lord” where Christ's teachings are reaffirmed through marriage, baptism and other ordinances that unite families for eternity. In the temple, Church members learn more about the purpose of life and strengthen their commitment to serve Jesus Christ and those around them.
