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 Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of Steubenville, the Magisterium, and Father Timothy Davison, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
Maybe you're not ready to clothe yourself in a monk's simple habit, but there are still many ways Franciscan's can wean themselves from a $100 billion a year fashion industry. Why not pare down your closet and share your wardrobe with a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen with people who really need it?
