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.

The Great Almsgiver
Go humbly begging alms. Don't be ashamed, because after sin everything comes to us in alms, and the Great Almsgiver gives generously and kindly to all, to the worthy and unworthy.
