Over 6,500 attendees at a New Year event gathered at Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that paired live performances with a highlights presentation tracking 2026 developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme put the focus on the year’s most talked-about themes: digital reach and online study, new facilities and planning for future openings, 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) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.
For audiences across 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 are watched well beyond the United States.
