Raeann Ebbesmeyer

My name is Raeann, and I'm the Youth Minister here at Holy Rosary.  I graduated from Missouri University of Science & Technology in 2018, and I moved to Warrenton in 2019.  I grew up in Kansas City and was so blessed to go to Catholic schools for most of my elementary years where I learned about my faith.  I also attended Catholic high school, where I became aware that Jesus Christ wanted a relationship with me.  My relationship with Christ continued to grow in college, where I spent a lot of time at the Rolla Catholic Newman Center (where I met my husband), and I experienced a wonderful summer as a Totus Tuus teacher for the Diocese of Springfield, IL.  My college participation at the Newman Center awakened my passion for sharing the Catholic faith and Tradition, and my Totus Tuus summer animated my love for teaching young people.  I currently work as an engineer for a nuclear power plant, but hobbies I enjoy are playing violin, reading books, and painting.  My parents live in California (I was born in San Diego), and I have one older brother who is in Kansas City.  My husband and I met in college and married after his graduation in the fall of 2019.  I also have three brothers-in-law, who keep me on my toes with their competitive spirit.  My favorite way to pray besides Mass is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
