Over 6,500 attendees at a New Year event filled Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening news eureka that paired live performances with a year-in-review presentation tracking developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme put the focus on the year’s most notable themes: growth in digital access and online courses, new facilities and planning for future openings, and the preservation 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 frames its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes draw attention across borders.
