Seton Home empowers teen girls, young mothers, and their children through safe housing, education, and support to break the cycles of abuse and poverty, strengthen nurturing relationships, and create healthy independent futures, one family at a time.
Founded in 1977, Seton Home officially opened its doors on March 5, 1981, at 309 N. Alamo Street, named in honor of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, to serve pregnant teens in San Antonio who had nowhere else equipped to help them prepare for motherhood. As demand grew, the agency operated from that site until 1987, when the Archdiocese of San Antonio provided three acres at its current location—since expanded into an eight-acre campus with four residential cottages, a state-licensed Child Development Center, a chapel, an education center, a sports court, and an administrative building. Today, Seton Home provides a safe, nurturing home for young mothers ages 12–20 and their children placed in its care through Child Protective Services, as well as shelter for non-pregnant teen girls ages 17–20, helping families heal, grow, and build brighter futures. More than four decades after that first dream became reality, and with the continued support of donors and the community, Seton Home remains committed to strengthening families and creating new hope for the young mothers and children it serves.
