Across West 11th Street from Lincoln Park in Tremont sits Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, home church for Slovak Catholics in the early part of the twentieth century. The church began in 1915 as an offshoot of St. Wendelin parish in Ohio City, when Slovaks in Tremont objected to crossing the industrial valley to get to church. The parish was renamed Our Lady of Mercy in 1922 and removed its Polish Nationalist affiliation. In 1942, the parish began a door-to-door collection campaign to build a new church for its growing congregation. They raised $50,000 in three years and by 1949, the new church was completed. Modeled after an English country church, the exterior is ‘Tennessee Crab Orchard’ stone, the same material present on the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist and St. Malachi, both constructed around the same time. The church was closed by the Diocese of Cleveland in 2010. Today, the building has been repurposed as office space.
