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.

Holy Simplicity
"Saint Francis was zealous with more than
usual care to show forth in himself, and he loved in others, holy
simplicity, the daughter of grace, the sister of wisdom, the mother of
justice."
