SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is continuing to reopen its temples on a limited basis as local governments ease restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

By Oct. 12 the church will have 109 temples in Phase 2 of its reopening plan, which means receiving endowments for living persons and sealings of children to parents. The two temples that will transition to Phase 2 on Oct. 12 are:

• Monticello Utah
• Sapporo Japan

One more temple will reopen in Phase 1 on the same date, bringing the total number of reopened temples to 148.

• Tampico Mexico

The first phase offers living husband-and-wife sealings with minimum staff and participants, including the bride, the groom and a limited number of healthy guests.

The Columbus Ohio Temple has closed for renovation.

All Latter-day Saint temples were closed on March 25 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The first 17 temples reopened on May 11. The list grew to 34 one week later on May 18.

As community health restrictions lift in different locations, each temple will advance to a new phase:

• Phase 1 — Living husband-and-wife sealings by appointment
• Phase 2 — All living ordinances by appointment
• Phase 3 — All living and limited proxy ordinances by appointment
• Phase 4 — All normal operations

The church has created a document to track the progress of each temple.

Correction: An earlier version incorrectly stated all temples closed on May 25. They closed on March 25.
