(KAIR)--An influx of visitors is expected in Atchison this weekend as Benedictine College holds its annual Family Weekend.

The college, in a release, calls it a "signature weekend" which is "an opportunity for Benedictine students and their families to reconnect on the Benedictine College campus."

Among the many events planned for the weekend will be a Founder's Day tribute during Saturday's football matchup against Peru State, as the Benedictine Sisters and Monks will be honored along the founding institutions of Mount St. Scholastica Monastery and St. Benedict's Abbey.

The weekend also means the naming of Benedictine College's "Family of the Year," with The Steve and Carrie Schmitz Family to be honored during halftime of Saturday's football game at Wilcox Stadium.

According to a release from the college, the Schmitz family has "embraced the Benedictine College mission, established a scholarship for education majors, and have joyfully sent five of their nine children [to BC].” Additionally, four of their children married fellow Ravens, while another is engaged to a Raven.

Family Weekend at Benedictine College runs from Friday through Sunday.
