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.
Solitude doesn't just go "POOF!" and God suddenly pops up in front of you. It's simply that most of the time we are so busy being busy that we don't or can't recognize His presence. The discipline of solitude simply opens us up to recognizing that He is right there with us all the time.
