CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Xavier University’s Center for Interfaith Community Engagement will celebrate Holi, a Hindu spring festival of colors on Monday, March 25 at 3:00 pm on the Xavier Yard.

This unique experience features colored paint, music, and fun. It marks the end of winter’s gloom and celebrates spring’s bloom.

“Think ‘food fight’ with powdered paint,” says Rabbi Abie Ingber, executive director of the center. “We will provide participants with white t-shirts which will get soaked as they throw colorful water balloons at each other. After they are good and wet, we will spread the colorful powder and spring will be in the air!

On the same day, between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., students will create Alfombras, a Central American tradition on the closed section of Francis Xavier Way between Fenwick Hall and Bellarmine Chapel. This event is free and open to the public. 

ROSELAWN, OH (FOX19) - Roselawn Condon students are being given the opportunity to learn lifesaving CPR skills with the support of The Dornette Foundationa and the American Heart Association.

Students will be trained using the American Heart Association's Family and Friends Anytime kits, then will be asked to take the kits home to teach others.

Sudden cardiac arrest can affect anyone. The person loses consciousness, collapses, stops breathing, and the heart stops. With no circulation, there is no flow of oxygenated blood to the brain, and brain cells begin to die.

Without immediate CPR, the person’s survival chances drop 7 percent to 10 percent per minute. Most sudden cardiac arrests occur at home, so rescuers are often family and friends.

READING, OH (FOX19) - A year ago when 10 Mount Notre Dame High school students were chosen to participate in an International Model UN conference in Rome, they had no idea it would coincide with Papal conclave.

Wednesday, the students will travel to Rome for their week-long field trip.

The students will be among 500 other students representing several nations from around the world.
