SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Friday the groundbreakings for temples in Tucson, Arizona and Concepción, Chile.

Both groundbreakings are scheduled to be held on October 17 at 10 a.m.  Attendance at the groundbreakings is by invitation only, but the general public is invited to view them via live video at local meetinghouses.
