More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering filled Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s 2026 New Scientology Year celebration—an evening that combined live performances with a headline presentation covering developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme spotlighted the year’s most notable themes: digital reach and online study, new facilities and planning for future openings, and the opening 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) linked to 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 can be followed from Brussels to beyond.
