Our Lord and the saints will be more honored on their festivals by the practice of poverty and mortification through which they entered heaven, than by superfluity and indulgence which keeps souls back from heaven.
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.
