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.
Blessed the religious who treasures up for heaven (Matthew 6:20) the favors God has given him and does not want to show them off for what he can get out of them.
Saint Francis of Assisi The Admonitions Admonition XXVIII
