Scientology’s New Year 2026 Celebration Reviews Global Expansion of Social Programmes worldwide
More than 6,500 guests attended the year-end event, which highlighted organisational developments, heritage restorations and the reach of education, prevention and volunteer programmes followed internationally—including by Scientology communities across Europe.
LOS ANGELES / BRUSSELS — 31 December 2025 — The Church of Scientology held its New Year’s Celebration 2026 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, bringing together more than 6,500 attendees for an evening that combined a concert programme with a year-in-review presentation on developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
The programme opened with live performances by international artists, then shifted to a review led by Scientology’s ecclesiastical leader Mr David Miscavige. In remarks quoted from the stage, Mr Miscavige framed the evening as a moment to measure results before turning the calendar, stating: “So while the rest of the planet may still be winding down its clocks—we’re here for something else entirely: to see what happens when a full year of Scientology accomplishments is unleashed all at once.”
The year-end review focused on several themes that the Church presented as defining the past year: growth in digital access and online learning; expansion and planning of new facilities; preservation of sites associated with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard; and a selection of social programmes applying Mr Hubbard’s methodologies to issues such as drug prevention, literacy and values education.
Digital access and online learning
A significant portion of the presentation centred on the Church’s digital platforms and learning tools. The event highlighted Scientology Network, stating that viewership has grown to 11 times its level since the network’s launch and noting more than 170 awards for creative and technical excellence. The presentation showed that over one million students have enrolled in online courses, presenting those figures as part of a wider effort to make introductory materials available across languages and time zones.
For European audiences, these digital metrics are often viewed as a practical indicator of how international religious movements are adapting to changing media habits—expanding beyond in-person events to formats that can be accessed from any location, including across the continent.
Facilities and heritage: “Ideal Org” development and landmark restorations
The review also returned to the Church’s ongoing programme of facility development—often referred to as “Ideal Orgs”—highlighting openings and planned projects presented as strengthening local capacity for religious services and community engagement. One of the featured openings was the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, a 10-storey church serving Nelson Mandela Bay.
The programme also included an announcement regarding a forthcoming Ideal Church in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the first of its kind in the Caribbean and expected to open in the coming months.
Alongside these developments, the International Hubbard Ecclesiastical League of Pastors (I HELP) and Scientology Missions International (SMI) continued to expand Dianetics and Scientology introductory services through a growing network of Missions. In Valencia, Spain, the city’s Ideal Scientology Mission sustained delivery of religious services while supporting community initiatives through nearly 200 volunteers involved in United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness and Drug-Free World. The Mission’s Volunteer Minister response was also highlighted for its role during Spain’s deadliest floods of the century, with Valencia’s Civil Guard recognising the Mission for strengthening the city’s social foundation.
The year also included a sequence of ribbon-cutting ceremonies reflecting broader Mission growth, with new European Ideal Missions opening in Plzeň (Czech Republic) and Budapest (Hungary), as well as additional openings in the United States, including Montrose (north of Los Angeles), San Jose and Riverpark near Sacramento—followed by Lakeway, Texas, which closed out the year’s schedule of openings.
Alongside new facilities, the presentation underscored a parallel emphasis on preservation—particularly sites tied to key moments in the development of Dianetics and Scientology. The Church highlighted the opening of three new L. Ron Hubbard Landmark Sites during 2025, presented as restored locations with historical significance to the movement:
- Aberdeen Road in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the location of the first Dianetics Foundation;
- Osborn Road in Phoenix, Arizona, the place where Dianetics and Scientology were unified; and
- Alexandra Park in Harare, Zimbabwe, a site connected to filmed lectures and Mr Hubbard’s only filmed interview.
These restorations are more than symbolic markers they are public-facing heritage sites—part of a broader effort to preserve buildings associated with major milestones, while making them accessible to visitors and members.
Social programmes featured in the year-in-review
Beyond organisational and heritage developments, the year-end review placed substantial emphasis on social initiatives associated with the Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE) and on professional networks described as applying Hubbard’s administrative methods in civic and commercial contexts.
Among the examples highlighted was a youth-focused Narconon facility in Sonora, Mexico, referred to as “Narconon Jóvenes”, presented as addressing addiction among teenagers. The programme also cited an example from Kenya connected to The Way to Happiness, with reductions in school drug use and lower reoffending rates in a community initiative led by former inmates.
Another case study spotlighted a Sri Lankan educator adopting Applied Scholastics study methods, with classroom gains, teacher training and subsequent discussions aimed at broader adoption across the country’s schools, as presented in the Church’s New Year 2026 year-end event.
The review additionally referenced examples linked to the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE), including European-based business and professional training stories presented as applications of administrative and organisational methods in everyday settings.
European context: visibility in Brussels and across the continent
Although the New Year event took place in the United States, the Church’s year-end review is followed by Scientology communities internationally, including across Europe. Scientology’s footprint in the continent scores more than 140 churches and missions (plus thousands of local communities and social betterment groups in at least 27 European nations. Worldwide, Scientology operates through more than 11,000 churches, missions, related organisations and affiliated groups in over 165 countries.
In Brussels, the Churches of Scientology for Europe place of worship and community building sits at Boulevard de Waterloo 103, 1000 Brussels, a European hub for religious services, information and engagement with visitors from across the continent.
Commenting on the value of year-end reflection in a European civic context, Ivan Arjona-Pelado—Representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and the UN—said:
“At the start of a new year, Europeans traditionally look to what strengthens social cohesion—education, prevention and respect for human dignity. What matters most is sustained civic responsibility: people choosing, day after day, to help their neighbours and uphold fundamental rights in everyday life without having to ask the other if he/she is from a religion or another or from none.”
As presented during the evening, the New Year 2026 celebration was framed as both a cultural event and a structured review of priorities for 2026, with the Church pointing to continued development in digital access, facilities, heritage preservation and the community programmes highlighted in the year-in-review.
The Church of Scientology is a contemporary world religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1950s. In Europe, Scientology churches, missions, groups and members are present across the continent and support community initiatives focused on education, prevention and community betterment, alongside religious services for Scientologists. The Church recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow in a number of jurisdictions, reflecting ongoing engagement with civic life, humanitarian programmes and education initiatives.

Jerome Dubrulle Is Ready for Home-Buying Season – And So Is the Detroit Michigan Market
Detroit, MI, 24th June 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Home-buying season in Detroit Michigan is here, and the window moves fast. Jerome Dubrulle, a Detroit Michigan-area real estate professional with deep local market knowledge, is actively working with buyers, sellers, and investors navigating one of the most competitive stretches of the year.
April through August is peak season in Metro Detroit. There’s more inventory, showings are picking up, and families trying to close before September are getting into bidding wars with investors and relocators who’ve been watching the same listings.
Spring (April through June) brings the widest selection of homes on the market, but also the sharpest competition. Multiple-offer situations are the norm, not the exception. Buyers who come in unprepared leave empty-handed.
In July and August, sellers whose homes sat through spring without a deal start adjusting their prices. Demand is still there, but the market settles down enough that a prepared buyer can find value if they’ve done their homework and know where to look.
What Jerome Brings to the Table
Jerome is a local Michigander who leverages his market experience to benefit his clients. He understands neighborhood-level pricing, knows the difference between a listing that’s priced to move and one that’s been sitting for a reason, and helps clients figure out exactly which moment they’re operating in.
He walks every buyer through a detailed Buyer Guide from day one, covering luxury homes, investment properties, rental listings, and everything in between. Sellers get the same attention: pricing strategy, timing, and presentation are all factored in from the start.
From MLS coordination and home inspections to title searches and closing-day logistics, Jerome handles the details so clients can stay focused on the decision that matters.
“Whether someone is buying their first home or adding to an investment portfolio, the goal is the same,” Dubrulle said. “Make a confident, informed decision. Not a rushed one.”
Get in Touch
Anyone looking to buy or sell in the Metro Detroit area this season can reach Jerome Dubrulle directly at 248-701-3526, by email at realestate@jeromedulbrulle.com, or through his website.
About Jerome Dubrulle
Jerome Dubrulle is a Detroit-area real estate professional serving buyers, sellers, and investors across the Detroit Michigan metro area. He specializes in residential, luxury, and investment properties, offering comprehensive market analysis, buyer and seller guidance, and hands-on support from initial consultation through closing.

A new report by Perfect.Live, based on request data from 1,000+ high-net-worth clients across 127 countries, finds that multi-location living has become the operational norm — and that managing it is now the primary driver of lifestyle delegation.
Perfect.Live has published its first annual report on HNWI lifestyle delegation, covering internal request data aggregated across 2025-2026.
The core finding: the primary residence is no longer one place. Nearly half of wealthy individuals now run active households in 3 or more countries simultaneously — staff, suppliers, and logistics operating in parallel across jurisdictions.
A record 142,000 millionaires relocated internationally in 2025, the highest figure ever recorded, and the share of Perfect.Live clients with households in 3 or more countries has grown from 18% to 47% in 2 years. That operational complexity is what drives delegation.
When those clients outsource, 34% of all requests fall under Mobility & Speed — private transfers, jet brokerage, airport fast-track — because time is the scarce resource. Travel planning accounts for another 27%, household and personal support for 18%. Across every category, the pattern is consistent: clients stay involved at the level of decisions and outcomes, and delegate everything in between.
Trip patterns are shifting too: visits are getting shorter and more frequent, with clients preferring 2- or 3-day stops across several cities over single-destination stays. On the household side, wealthy families are moving away from large in-house teams toward a lean core structure supported by external partners for the recurring operational layer.
The fastest-growing segment is corporate business travel for senior executives, with GMV now exceeding $500,000 per month, as corporations increasingly formalise concierge support as part of senior talent strategy.
Request patterns vary by region. Eurozone clients skew toward cultural itineraries and private dining access. US clients show the highest request velocity, driven by jets, fast-track, and last-minute logistics. ME clients generate the highest average ticket per event. Asian clients show a high share of complex multi-country itineraries combining business and education-related logistics. Spend ranges from episodic delegators under $10,000 per month to HNWI clients running continuous request flow above $50,000.
About Perfect.Live
Perfect.Live is a 24/7 lifestyle management platform serving 1,000+ high-net-worth individuals and corporate partners across 127 countries, operating directly with private clients and as embedded infrastructure for private banks, family offices, and wealth management firms.
