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.
The friars are to speak evil to none (Titus 3:2); there must be no complaining, no slander; it is written, "Wisperers and detractors are people hateful to God" (Romans 1:29).
Saint Francis of Assisi THE RULE OF 1221 CHAPTER 11
