January 3, 2017, San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines – A YouTube video reviews the 50-year history of the Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of Remedies in Pampanga, the Philippines. The video spans years from the beginning, when the Adrian Dominican Sisters helped with the formation of the first members of the Dominican Congregation in the Archdiocese of San Fernando. It then reviews the Remedies Sisters’ independence as a Congregation, their many creative and loving responses to the needs of the people, merger with the Adrian Dominican Sisters in 2011, and continued ministries to their people. Watch the video.

August 11, 2015, Adrian, Michigan – Two videos capture the solemnity of an observance on August 6 of the one-year anniversary of the flight from their convents of the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena of Iraq, on the heels of an attack by ISIS. The first video, "1000 Cranes for Iraq" (14 minutes), is of the gathering in front of the Motherhouse, where Sister Attracta Kelly, OP, Prioress for the Adrian Dominican Sisters, calls for a moment of silence and then reads a recent letter written by Sister Maria Hanna, OP, Prioress of the Iraqi Dominican Sisters, describing their plight. The video is interspersed with images of Iraqi refugees.

The second video is of the Prayer for Peace in St. Catherine Chapel, approximately 30 minutes. Afterwards attendees viewed the poignant artwork created by Iraqi children in refugee camps and filled out postcards asking Sec. John Kerry to make Iraqi relief efforts a priority.
