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.

Confession and the Eucharist
The first step toward holiness is an
examination of conscience (Confession). The second step is to return to
the Eucharist. Then love and service follow at once, leading us
step-by-step into holiness. ~ Fra Chris
