Contemplatives throughout the ages have
learned how to be alone with God. Throw away the books! Knock off the
daydreaming! Get rid of everything! Simply dwell in His presence.
Silent... Empty... Expectant... Completely Still... ~ Fra Chris

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.
