Brother Knight Bob and Ann Bowman are model members of our Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish and Community.

Bob is the current and 9-year running Treasurer of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Men's Club and co-chairs our Parish "Keep HSV Beautiful campaign.  He is an active Men's Club volunteer in our Parish Thanksgiving and Christmas basket program.  A program which greatly benefits many needy families in our community.

Brother Bob is the Pro-Life and Family Director within our Knights, Officers and Directors Team, and organizes the Novena for Life Activities, the Baby Bottle Campaign, and Promoting Life Functions.  The Fraternal Year 2024-25 Baby Bottle Campaign raised over $8,400.  Bob is also a committee member for the Hot Springs Village Pro-Life Organization and helps with their very successful fundraisers.  And also represents Pro-Life on the Social Justice Commission at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish.

Brother Bob also heads up the Crosses for Life Displays in Hot Springs Village and helps other Christian Churches coordinate putting up their White Crosses each year. 

Bob, when our Council is called upon to participate, always volunteers to lead a decade in the Patriotic Rosary.  Additionally, he helps display the United States Flags around our Church Grounds during all patriotic events. And as a consummate Patriot, Bob is proud to say he holds the Patriotic, 4th Degree, of Knighthood.

And, to help his community, Bob volunteers two mornings a week helping build houses for Garland County Habitat for Humanity in Hot Springs.  A charitable act Bob has done since November 2010.

Ann Bowman is an extremely active and effective member of our Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in her own right.  As a member of the Ladies of Sacred Heart, Ann currently serves on the Funds Distribution Committee.  She coordinates a monthly get-together for her All-Saints Guild and also participates in their fundraising Bake Sales and other charitable events.  In addition, Ann helps with the Guild's commitment to visiting the sick and shut-ins on a continuing basis and is currently assisting with meals for parishioners in need who are experiencing temporary medical issues.

Ann is a Eucharistic Minister and a Lector.  She is energetically involved with the Helping Hands Ministry and is a Sunshine Card volunteer.  Ann is also the Sacred Heart of Jesus Coordinator for the Flower and Plant care program.

Ann has served on several Sacred Heart of Jesus Commissions and has been a Division Leader for our Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Program.

From a Hot Springs Village Community support perspective, over the years, Ann has served on numerous POA Committees.

Brother Knight Bob and Ann Bowman are both Perpetual Eucharistic Adores and have been since the inception of the program.  And they are both 24 hours substitute adores.  They each are exceptionally dedicated individuals and as a team are totally remarkable.  Bob and Ann Bowman are absolutely deserving of the coveted award of Sacred Heart of Jesus Family of the Month for April 2025.
