More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering packed Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a headline presentation covering developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
More than a countdown, the programme spotlighted the year’s most notable themes: digital expansion and online learning, facility development and upcoming projects, 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) linked to community engagement in multiple regions.
For audiences across Europe, the story offers a social programs 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.
