Every day, the new church of Our Lady of the Rosary parish in Greenville, S.C., gleams more and more like the radiant jewel it will be once construction is completed this summer. It sits on a grassy knoll, with a large expanse of lawn on Augusta Street, a main thoroughfare running from near downtown to a rundown area with few businesses, boarded-up commercial properties and crime.

Deacon Ron Meyer said the area was once part of the city’s textile manufacturing center — Greenville had been deemed the “Textile Capital of the World.” But now, demographically, this area has a lot of older folks and low-income younger families, plus a very large number of transients who drift into town from the Interstate 85 corridor to Atlanta, he said.

It’s mercy all around.
