More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering filled Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that paired live performances with a year-in-review presentation covering 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, facility development and upcoming projects, 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) framed as community engagement in multiple regions.
For European readers, 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.
