​“That would be my Dad — Tim Lynn. I was raised in the faith here in Calgary. I’ve watched him grow as a man always trying to do the right thing, and he’s passed that on to me. One of the things he says that comes to mind is you have to look at yourself every morning when you shave in the mirror and like the guy that looks back. He’s always taught me to try and do the right thing, and I’ve followed in his footsteps as a police officer. I’ve always looked at that as a vocation, sharing the faith quietly with my actions and how I treat people. No matter what happened in his life, he identified as being Catholic and no situation was going to change that. We all have our struggles in life and holding on to that identity helps us to stay strong. Faith allows us to increase our resiliency or have something to fall back on when going through rough waters. And the number one thing was family. Recently we had four generations of Lynn men going to Mass. I had a picture taken because I saw it as such a blessing to see this legacy of faith.”

Sean Lynn is a husband and father of eight children. He’s worked for the Calgary Police Service as a constable for 31 years. He attends St. Peter’s Parish in Calgary and is co-founder and current president of God Squad Canada.
