A Roman Catholic Church at Bowsman, in the Municipality of Minitonas-Bowsman, was moved here from an unknown location in June 1922. It was named Holy Family in 1925 following a visit by Archbishop Alfred Arthur Sinnott. A basement was built under the building a few years later.
Among the clerics who served here were Father Burggraf, Father Soemer, Father May, Father Bertach, Father Justen, and Father Lassenga.
