More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering gathered at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that blended live performances with a headline presentation covering developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme spotlighted the year’s most talked-about themes: growth in digital access and online courses, new facilities and news eu law planning for future openings, and the restoration of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also touched on drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) framed as community engagement in multiple regions.
For European readers, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement frames its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
