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.
We are spouces when our faithful souls are wed to Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. We are brothers and sisters when we do the will of his Father who is in heaven.
Saint Francis of Assisi Letter to All the Faithful, Second Version
