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.

Being a Member of the Franciscan Lay Apostolate Means Serving the Poor
We do not want the Franciscan Lay Apostolate,
as has been the case with other religious orders throughout history, to
begin serving the poor and then gradually move toward serving the rich. ~
Fra Chris
