The new stake in Tucson, Arizona I spoke of in the previous post was created today, June 21. The Sahuarita Arizona Stake was created with six wards and one branch. Sahuarita is located only 10 miles south of Tucson and has a population around 16,000. With the creation of the Sahuarita Arizona Stake, there are now six stakes in the Tucson area. A new stake in Tucson does increase the likelihood of a future temple announcement for members living in the area. Hopefully a sixth temple for Arizona will not be to far away for Church members in this area. There are currently 89 stakes in Arizona.
Are there only six stakes in a potential Tucson temple district.
ReplyDeleteCould you also inform me what the Oquirrh Mountain temple district stakes might be?
If a temple were built in Tucson, the temple district would likely comprise eight stakes. Six would be from the Tucson area, one from Sierra Vista and the other from St. David.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple District, the Church said on www.lds.org that it would comprise 26 stakes but as of yet have not released the names of the stakes to be incorporated into the new temple district. I imagine it will include Herriman, Riverton and South Jordan but we will just have to see.
The Jacksonville Florida South stake was created on Saturday(confirmed via friend on facebook) but there haven't details or update from lds.org or ldschurchtemples.com. Any details here?
ReplyDeleteThe Jax East Stake now includes Dunn Ave Ward which was from Kingsland. The new South Stake includes: St Johns, Julington, St Augustine, Palatka 1,2,Inerlachen, Fleming Island 1, and the Crescent City branch (7W,1B). Jacksonville East is left with(7W,1B), Jacksonville West (7W), and Kingsland (4W,3B).
