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.
A man eats of the tree that brings knowledge of good (Genesis 2:16-17) when he claims that his good will comes from himself alone and prides himself on the good that God says and does in him.
Saint Francis of Assisi The Admonitions Admonition II
