The Church News published a retrospective on President Dallin H. Oaks' first year as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reviewing policy changes, temple announcements, and addresses during his tenure. Oaks became church president in October 2025 following the death of President Russell M. Nelson.

The article catalogs conference addresses, temple dedications, and administrative decisions made during Oaks' first twelve months. It notes continued emphasis on temple construction, with groundbreakings in South America and Asia, and policy clarifications on youth programs.

Oaks, 94, served as first counselor in the First Presidency under Nelson before assuming the presidency. He previously served as a Utah Supreme Court justice and BYU president before his 1984 apostolic calling.
