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.

Pace e bene!
Christ revealed to blessed Francis the greeting which the brothers and sisters were to use and which he recorded in his Testament: "God revealed form of greeting to me, telling me that we should say, 'May the Lord give you peace.' " (Pace e bene in Italian)
