Many Scientologist Celebrities Perform Christmas Show to Benefit Police Activities League!

Numerous Scientologist celebrities performed at this year's Christmas Stories XVI Christmas show to benefit the Hollywood Police Activities League (PAL). The show was held at The Church Of Scientology's Celebrity Centre International Garden Pavilion last weekend and was a huge success.

The celebrities that performed this year included Kirstie Alley, Anne Archer, Jenna Elfman, Ethan Suplee, Laura Prepon, Erika Christensen, Michelle Stafford, Michael Pena, and many more!

The annual show is a benefit for the Hollywood Police Activities League (PAL). PAL is run directly by police officers themselves and provides year-round athletics and scholastic activities for kids. The juvenile crime rate drops in areas in which the program operates! The funds they raise with the Christmas Stories show also helps make possible the annual PAL Christmas Party and presents for the youth they serve.

A culture is only as great as its dreams, and its dreams are dreamed by artists. — Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard

More Nominations for Michael Peña


I first saw Michael Peña in the Oscar winning movie "Crash" where he played a Latino who had managed to get his family out of a "bad" area but was still facing discrimination because he had tattoos and "looked like a gang member". He won an ALMA award for " Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture" for his performance.

This year he has received two ALMA nominations and has won a Black Reel Award for "Best Supporting Actor" in Walkout , the true story of a young Mexican American high school teacher, Sal Castro (played by Michael) who mentors a group of students in East Los Angeles. His students decide to stage a peaceful walkout to protest the injustices of the public school system.
