"I listen to their heart as they tell me their life story," said Lynch, the director of psychological services for St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. "I listen to their hearts, but God is the divine phy- sician. He's the healer." Lynch was recognized for her achieve- ments and work as a conduit of healing for young men preparing for the priesthood. In May at the Basilica of the National Shrine in Washington, D.C., Lynch was presented with the fi rst distinguished alumni award by the Institute for the Psy- chological Sciences (IPS)—where she was also the fi rst student to receive her doc- torate—for her contributions to society and excellence in the fi eld. "What has been established (at the seminary) under her leadership is a model for seminaries around the coun- try," said seminary rectory Father Scott Traynor. "Those unique contributions she's made are recognized by IPS in o£ er- ing her that award. It's duly deserved." Lynch made headway when she began at the seminary as a psychologist. She said the Church takes seriously the care of its priests and realizes the needs for not only their human formation, but also their ability to live a celibate life as Christ did. More than 80 percent of the men in the seminary freely seek guidance from Lynch, who o£ ers confi dential human growth counseling, Father Traynor said. Lynch is also president of the Catholic Psychotherapy Association. "Chris has a deep love for the Church, love for the faith and reverence for the priesthood," Father Traynor said. "You put that all together and she's an amazing person."
