More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering filled Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that combined live performances with a year-in-review news eugene presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
More than a countdown, the programme spotlighted the year’s most talked-about themes: digital expansion and online learning, new premises and expansion plans, and the opening 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) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.
For readers in Europe, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement takes stock of its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
