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.

Remain In The Presence Of The Heavenly Father
Saint Francis would say: "If the servant of God, as may happen, is disturbed in any way, he should rise up immediately to pray and should remain in the presence of the heavenly Father until He restores unto him the joy of salvation"...
Saint Francis of Assisi
