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.
Today we are flooded by a non-stop barrage of well-produced, expertly marketed, musical trash that does everything but uplift the soul. Rather than glorifying God, popular culture glorifies banality, ugliness and violence. This is what we have done with God's gift of music.
