Ascension DePaul Services

Formed in 1958 as Daughters of Charity, Ascension DePaul Services of San Antonio has been dedicated to increasing the economic stability of the southside of San Antonio by providing basic needs to those who need them most.  

Ascension believes in serving the whole person wherever they are in their life journey.  Through parenting classes, affordable, high-quality childcare, comprehensive healthcare, and a number of other life-changing services, we strive to encourage growth, provide opportunities, and break they cycle of generational poverty.
