History and Community
Established in 1951, the parish grew up alongside the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood — originally settled by miners in the late 1800s and later populated by Slavic, German, and Italian immigrant families drawn by railroad, smelter, and stockyard jobs. As Hispanic families moved into the area from the 1940s and 1950s onward, Our Lady of Grace transitioned alongside the community and began offering Spanish-language Masses after Vatican II, an identity it retains today.
