Over 6,500 attendees at a New Year event gathered at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that blended news eu parliament live performances with a headline presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Beyond the festivities, the programme brought together the year’s most talked-about 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 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.
