History of St. Ambrose
St. Ambrose Parish of Chaffee owes its existence to the St. Louis and Memphis Branch of the great Frisco R.R. System. It was evident that a division point was needed between St. Louis and Memphis, as they are 300 miles apart. The bridge across to Thebes made what is known as Chaffee a great location to settle the railroad. On November 3, 1907 the building of the new church began and on January 1, 1908 the first Mass was celebrated in the new church. The school was established in September of 1918 and is still apart of our family today, recently celebrating 100 years.
