More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering packed Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year 2026 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 visible news european union 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 featured drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) linked to 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.
