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 a friar is clearly determined to live according to the flesh and not according to the spirit, no matter where he is, the others are bound to warn, insrtuct and correct him with humble charity.
Saint Francis of Assisi THE RULE OF 1221 Chapter 5
