As part of the 100^th anniversary celebration of the dedication of South America for the preaching of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, a night of music, dance and remembrance was held in Santiago, Chile, on Saturday, June 14, 2025.

Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke to 4,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and friends who were present in person, while more than 10,000 joined the celebration through a nationwide broadcast.

“It was stunning to see their hearts filled with happiness and joy, celebrating this event with all the other Chilean Saints in the whole country who were joining by broadcast. We were thrilled to see the pageantry, hear the music, and see the smiles on the faces of everyone, both watching as audience members and participating as cast and musicians,” said Elder Stevenson.

“This is something that is the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ, a gospel of glad tidings, a gospel that brings happiness and joy into the hearts of its members,” he said.

This night of joyful reflection gave those in attendance a chance to think about the thousands upon thousands of Latter-day Saints who have helped the Church grow for the past 100 years.
