(KAIR)--The students of Benedictine College, away this week for the Thanksgiving break, will return to Atchison Sunday, with their welcome back reception to include fireworks that night.

According to a release from the Atchison-based college, it's tradition for the college to welcome the return of the students with a Sunday evening Mass, at 8:00, followed by the annual campus lighting ceremony. As part of the celebration, a fireworks display is planned for Sunday night around 9:15. While it's not a public display, residents near the college will likely see the explosions, and hear the sounds, with BC alerting them that the ceremony is the reason for the sights and sounds.

According to the college, the display is expected to last 10-minutes.
