(KAIR)--Benedictine College students are among the many local area students having the week off for the Thanksgiving holiday.

When they return, as tradition holds, the college will welcome them back with a lighting ceremony, complete with fireworks.

According to a release from the Atchison-based college, the students are set to return Sunday; and, when they do, it's a tradition for the college to give them a welcome home ceremony, set to start Sunday evening at 8:00. The ceremony will include Mass, followed by the lighting ceremony, that will include the launching of fireworks around 9:15 that night.

The college wants to make certain the Atchison community, especially those residents near the college, is aware that the fireworks, and explosions, are not a concern and are merely a part of the student's return, with the fireworks show expected to last about 10 minutes.
