In March 2025, the cluster held a 'Vicariate Jubilee 2025' pilgrimage led by Father Luan, traveling between St. Boniface, Immaculate Conception, St. Catherine's, St. Patrick's, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St. Mary's in Shaw for Mass, rosary, prayer, adoration, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet — illustrating the connectedness of these small rural parishes.
