A year-end crowd of more than 6,500 guests filled Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that blended live performances with a headline presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme put the focus on the year’s most visible themes: growth in digital access and online courses, new facilities and planning for future openings, and the restoration of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also highlighted drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.
For readers in Europe, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement marks its milestones—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes draw attention across borders.
