God called St. Francis and his companions and chose them to bear the cross of Christ in their hearts and to preach it in word and action...And so they went through the world as pilgrims and strangers, with Christ crucified as their only baggage.
Little Flowers of St. Francis
The Portiuncula Franciscan Chapel, located adjacent to the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Ozark, Ohio (Diocese of Steubenville) is humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to Father Nick Ward, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
