On Saturday, September 12, 2020, Julie Billiart School Akron hosted a First Communion Ceremony and Mass for three third grade boys and one fourth grade boy. Their families were in attendance to witness the special day.
Fr. Anthony Simone of St. Sebastian Parish led the Mass. JB Akron Principal, Jason Wojnicz, spoke at the service.
"This was a memorable experience for not only the students and their families, but also for JB," said Wojnicz. "This was our first opportunity to share First Communion in the JB Akron Chapel. It was a special day."
First Communion Recipients
Jackson Wish, Grade 4
Lincoln Rufus, Grade 3
Rylee Grigsby, Grade 3
Carter Zimmerman, Grade 3
All attendees wore facial coverings and practiced social distancing guidelines. In the spring, JB Akron will host another First Communion. Current Catholic second graders will join in First Communion in May of 2021.
Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.

All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.

I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.

They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!
JB Parent
Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.
JB Parent
My kids love everything about JB and look forward to going to school every day and seeing their friends and teachers. JB is truly a one of a kind school enriching young lives everyday.
