The Church of Scientology is commemorating 45 years since its first legal incorporation in Spain—highlighting

decades of spiritual ministry and community programs that span drug education, human rights, literacy, and

charitable outreach. From early ties dating back to L. Ron Hubbard’s travels in the 1950s to the 2004 opening of

the National Church on Calle de Santa Catalina, the movement’s footprint has grown alongside nationwide

humanitarian initiatives.

• Drug education & rehabilitation: Truth About Drugs outreach and support for Narconon centers.
• Education & ethics: Applied Scholastics training and distribution of The Way to Happiness.
• Human rights: Workshops and campaigns via United for Human Rights.
• Community aid: Drives and partnerships assisting families, hospitals, and vulnerable groups.

“Spain, and its people, held a very dear place in the heart of L. Ron Hubbard.”

—David Miscavige, at the 2004 Madrid opening
