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.
If people insult you and refuse to give you alms, you should thank God for it, because you will be honoured before the judgement-seat of our Lord Jesus Christ for these insults.
Saint Francis of Assisi The Rule of 1221 Chapter 9
