"Francis went to a place called the Portiuncula, where there stood a church of the Blessed Virgin Mother of God that had been built in ancient times, but was now deserted and cared for by no one. When the holy man of God saw how it was thus in ruins, he was moved with pity, because he burned with devotion toward the mother of all good; and he began to live there in great zeal."

Welcome to the Portiuncula Chapel, adjacent to the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Ozark, Ohio where we completed our tiny little chapel on October 4th, 2024, the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi.
