More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering filled Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening New Year that blended live performances with a year-in-review presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme brought together the year’s most visible themes: digital reach and online study, new premises and expansion plans, 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 marks its milestones—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
