"Francis set to begging for stones with which to restore the church of San Damiano. He called to the passers-by: 'Whoever gives me one stone will have one reward; two stones, two rewards; three stones, a treble reward!' "

Monroe County, Ohio Catholics are being asked to collect all their field stones and drop them off at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cemetery on Ozark-Eddy Bridge Road (just inside the wood line on the South Side of the Cemetary) so that we can duplicate this Portiuncula Chapel (pictured above) that is located at the Franciscan University of Steubenville.
