The Oakland California Temple was rededicated Sunday, June 16, 2019, in three sessions by President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Joining President Oaks were his wife, Sister Kristen Oaks; Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Susan Bednar; and Elder Kevin W. Pearson, a General Authority Seventy and president of the Church’s California Area, and his wife, Sister June Pearson.
Elder Bednar was also present at the original Oakland Temple’s dedication services in November 1964 as a twelve-year-old boy.
The Oakland sessions were among the Church’s first dedications and rededications to feature youth speakers.
