A year-end crowd of more than 6,500 guests gathered at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a year-in-review presentation tracking developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme brought together the year’s most talked-about themes: growth in digital access and online courses, 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) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.
For audiences across Europe, the story eu newspapers 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.
