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.

Deep Humility
"Francis built the Order of Friars Minor on
deep humility. That is why, from the very beginning, when the brothers
began to multiply, he made it clear that they were to live in lazarets
to serve the lepers." ~ Legend of Perugia
