More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering packed Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that blended live performances with a year-in-review presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
More than a countdown, the programme put the focus on the year’s most notable themes: digital expansion and online learning, new facilities and planning for future openings, and the preservation of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also highlighted drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) framed as community engagement in multiple regions.
For European readers, the story religion 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 draw attention across borders.
