The Portiuncula, located in Jerusalem, Ohio, in the Diocese of Steubenville, is home to the Franciscan Lay Apostolate. We are humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to the Bishop of Steubenville, the Magisterium, and Father Nick Ward, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.

Blessed Is That Servant...
Blessed is that servant who bears descipline, accusations, and reprehensions from others as patiently as from himself. Blessed is that servant who mildly yields to reproof, obeys with modesty, humbly confesses his fault, and willingly makes satisfaction. Blessed is that servant who is not quick to excusing himself and who humbly bears the shame and reprehension for sin when he has committed no fault.
