More than 6,500 guests at a year-end gathering packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year’s Celebration 2026—an evening that paired live performances with a year-in-review presentation tracking developments across the news europe war Church’s international network during 2025.
More than a countdown, the programme put the focus on the year’s most talked-about themes: digital reach and online study, new premises and expansion plans, and the preservation 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 readers in 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.
