According to an article published in the June 8, 2025 Orange County Catholic, JSerra "celebrated something extraordinary" on Sunday, May 4, 2025. On that day, 33 of our high school students received the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church.

Titled "Fertile Soil": JSerra Students Respond to the Call of Christ in Record Numbers, the article shares how recent surges in students responding to the Christ's call is the result of something both deep and awe-inspiring.
