    September 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of Central American Independence and this year’s Central American Confederation Awards reflected the spirit of the occasion. 

    The event, hosted by the Church of Scientology Los Angeles, featured baile folklórico, traditional folk dancing, and Latin music. COFECA presented awards to top volunteers from each of the nations celebrating this milestone—Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize, Honduras and Panama.

    For the past 48 years, COFECA has worked for justice and immigration equality. Its mission is the building and strengthening of friendship and fraternity among members of the Los Angeles Central American community and the preservation and transmission of the countries’ customs and traditions to future generations. 

    With nearly 5 million Hispanics and Latinx in Los Angeles County, including more than a half-million Central Americans, services offered by the Church of Scientology Los Angeles are bilingual.

    The iconic headquarters of the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles is designed to provide the ideal facilities for Scientologists on their ascent to higher states of spiritual freedom and to serve as a home for the entire community and a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

    The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is featured in an episode of Inside Scientology, which first aired in March 2018 in a special broadcast introduced by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, launching the Scientology Network on DIRECTV channel 320. The episode can be streamed on Scientology.tv and is available through mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

    Sept. 15 marks the 200th anniversary of Central American countries declaring their independence. Working with leaders of the Los Angeles Guatemalan and Salvadorian communities, the Church of Scientology Los Angeles launched this celebration early, taking part in two parades and hosting two festivals over Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 4-5.

    First was the Guatemala Bicentennial Parade down Hollywood Boulevard, organized by the Guatemalan Chamber of Commerce. The Volunteer Ministers of the Los Angeles Church of Scientology partnered with the Chamber, hosting food drives this year to help deal with increased food insecurity because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Scientology Volunteer Ministers in their signature yellow T-shirts walked down the boulevard in front of their float. They carried a 12-foot banner bearing their motto: “Something can be done about it.” 

    The parade route ended at the Church of Scientology at L. Ron Hubbard Way in East Hollywood, where the Church organized an Independence Day festival featuring music, salsa dancing, and food from an assortment of Hollywood’s favorite food trucks. 

    Sunday was dedicated to the equally joyous celebration of El Salvador’s independence, beginning with a two-mile parade down Hollywood Boulevard organized by Festival Independencia Salvadoreña. Volunteers from the Scientology-sponsored United for Human Rights initiative, working with parade organizers, invited paradegoers to the Independence Day party at the Church of Scientology, right at the end of the parade route. Sunday’s celebration was rich in Latin American culture, with traditional music and dancing. 

    The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is an Ideal Scientology Organization, configured to serve its parishioners in their ascent to spiritual freedom and to serve as a resource for the entire community. 

    The Church sponsors humanitarian programs that provide practical solutions to some of the most pressing issues communities are confronted with today. Voices for Humanity, an original series on the Scientology Network, features, among many others, the work of Guatemalan human rights activist Cynthia Guerra and Salvadorian drug-prevention champion Hugo Angulo Rogel. 

    The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is also featured on the Scientology Network in the program Inside a Church of Scientology. 

    Scientology Network was launched with a special introduction by the religion’s ecclesiastical leader David Miscavige in 2018. Programs are available on DIRECTV 320, at Scientology.tv and through Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, YouTube and mobile apps for smartphones and tablets.

    –
     People from more than 140 countries, speaking 224 different identified languages, currently call Los Angeles home. And as the Church of Scientology makes its facilities available to nonprofits for their events, there is a wide variety of celebrations hosted there throughout the year.

    Just one example was the festival held in the chapel May 5 for Mexican and other Latin American communities. More than 30 guests gathered at the church to dance, sing and celebrate in a joyous Cinco de Mayo celebration — a tradition in California’s huge Latin community.

    Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 in the Franco-Mexican War. For Mexicans-Americans, the holiday represents Mexican culture and pride. 

    Two guests performing karaoke inspired the crowd to take part in the singing, with an energy typical of the spirit the Mexican community brings to the city of Los Angeles.

    Those attending were delighted with the surprise performance of an Ecuadoran singer who shared his passion and talent for Mexican music, entertaining everyone present. The singer spoke of his pleasure in supporting Cinco de Mayo as a symbol of the freedom-loving Mexican community. 

    The Church of Scientology Los Angeles is proud to host these celebrations and support the cultural traditions of the city’s many vibrant communities.

    Those attending were warmly invited to return Saturday, May 12, for the celebration of the anniversary of the publication of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the most widely read and influential book ever written about the mind.
