Hinckley dedicated the Ciudad Juárez Temple on February 26–27, 2000,[2][8] and the dedication ceremonies were attended by approximately 8,100 members from El Paso and Juarez.[7]
The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple has a white marble veneer, a total floor area of 10,700 square feet (990 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.[1][2]
