St. Ambrose Church was founded in 1949 to serve the growing Catholic population in Cheverly, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., during a period of post-war expansion. The [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington]], established as a diocese in 1939 and elevated to an archdiocese in 1947, created the parish to meet the spiritual needs of the Prince George’s County Deanery. Named after [[Ambrose|Saint Ambrose]], a Doctor of the Church known for his eloquence and contributions to liturgy, the parish focused on building a church and establishing Saint Ambrose Catholic School to provide Catholic education.<ref name="sacheverly">{{cite web |title=St. Ambrose Catholic Church |url=https://www.sacheverly.org |publisher=St. Ambrose Catholic Church |access-date=August 8, 2025}}</ref><ref name="adw">{{cite web |title=St. Ambrose |url=https://adw.org/parishes/st-ambrose/ |publisher=Archdiocese of Washington |access-date=August 8, 2025}}</ref> | St. Ambrose Church was founded in 1949 to serve the growing Catholic population in Cheverly, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., during a period of post-war expansion.
