Kathleen Lynch (Kennedy) named new Manager of Communications.

The Midwest Augustinians welcome Kathleen Lynch (Kennedy) as their new Manager of Communications.

Kathleen is coming to the Midwest Augustinians with over 6 years of marketing/communications experience and a bachelor’s degree in Marketing Communications from Webster University, St. Louis. Our community may recognize her from her time serving as the Director of Communications at Providence Catholic High School early on in her career. Recently, Kathleen served as the Communications Specialist at Leyden High School District 212 and previously held communication roles at Saint James School/Parish and St. Louis Magazine.

Kathleen is a 2011 graduate of Providence Catholic High School and currently resides in Evergreen Park, IL with her husband, Patrick Lynch, who is a 2008 graduate of St. Rita High School.

“I am excited to be starting in this role and be back with the Augustinian family,” she said. “After my time at Providence Catholic as a student and staff member, I feel that I am back in a new role where I can help a community that provided not only myself, but my entire family with a well-rounded education and values that we still carry with us today.”

The Augustinian values run strong within her family, as her older brothers Michael and Ryan Kennedy also attended St. Rita High School ('09) and Providence Catholic ('06). Her mother, Laura Kennedy, is in her 10th year of working in the business office at St. Rita, and her father, Jeff Kennedy, works in the security office at St. Rita and also coaches baseball at Providence Catholic.

When she is not working, she likes to play tennis, travel, spend time with her family and mini goldendoodle, Alby.
