This past weekend I loaded up both of my kids and road tripped from North Carolina to Steubenville Ohio. My son’s Christmas vacation from college and it was time to get him back to Franciscan University for the spring semester. While on campus I decided to do a short Geocast using IncaX Live Media GPS and a Photosynth. There are many beautiful buildings I could have chosen for my subject, each with fascinating stories behind their history and name, but the one I chose was a modest little stone chapel on campus called The Portiuncula. The Portiuncula is a replica of the original Portiuncula built near Assisi Italy by Saint Francis. The building has a special place in the heart of my family and I because of the person responsible for its construction, Fr. Sam Tiesi.
