Announcement of the Cleveland Ohio Temple
President Russell M. Nelson, 17th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced the Cleveland Ohio Temple on April 3, 2022, during the Sunday afternoon session of April 2022 general conference. This will be the second operating temple in the Buckeye State, along with a temple in Columbus.
To many in Ohio, the Church Presidentâs announcement of a house of the Lord in Cleveland was an answer to prayers. Seventy-year-old Walt Flory of Canton, Ohio, fought emotion as he reflected on his feelings for a new temple. He said he asked his 97-year-old mother if she ever anticipated a sacred edifice closer to home.
Flory related, âShe said no. It was something that did not seem possible. We are excited beyond words.â
The Church began in Ohio in 1830 when Parley P. Pratt, a convert of one month and later an apostle, began a mission there among Native Americans. For a time in the mid-1830s, the Church was headquartered in Kirtland, Ohio, where the first temple of the Restoration was dedicated in 1836. Two years later, persecution forced them to abandon Ohio â and their beloved temple â and gather to Missouri.
Today, there are approximately 63,814 Latter-day Saints in the Buckeye State in 125 congregations.
Architecture and Design of the Cleveland Ohio Temple
According to site plans released by the Church on Dec. 19, 2022, the Cleveland Ohio Temple will be a single-story building of approximately 9,900 square feet. The sacred edifice will be constructed at Brecksville Road, south of Longano Drive, in the suburb of Independence.
Architectural renderings of a temple in Cleveland, Ohio, show an off-white exterior surrounded by vertical, rectangular windows. A green, domed cupola with eight arched, stained-glass windows stands above the center of the building. Tall trees, shrubs and flower gardens adorn the grounds.

West side Cleveland mom shot in her face during carjacking and lives to tell 19 News about it
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – On Friday, just two days into the new year, 38-year-old Cleveland mom, Tiffany Muscatell, reveals what happened that led to her being shot in her face by a stranger.
Woman shot on Cleveland’s West Side during carjacking
She spoke exclusively with 19 News senior reporter Harry Boomer late Friday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. in the 7900 block of Madison Avenue, Cleveland police said.
“What Happened? I was taking my son to my mom’s house, and a guy held me at gunpoint. Told me to get on the ground. I got on the ground. I didn’t have any money. He got into the car, told me to get my son out. It took too long. He threw me out the back and the gun went off. Then he took my son out and threw him on the ground.”
Muscatell was rushed to Metro Health Medical Center by EMS with a gunshot wound to her face.
She has more than a dozen stitches and is home to begin the healing process.
Several of her neighbors expressed outrage about what happened to her and her young son.
Here’s Howard Fetterman, who lives in the same Detroit Shoreway community as she does.
“Really, a baby with her. That’s ridiculous and insane. I think it’s disgusting for somebody to shoot a lady with a baby. They ought to catch the son-of-a-gun.”
Police found Muscatell’s car a short time after the carjacking near her home. The shooter is still on the loose.
