WORCESTER — A chaplain at the College of the Holy Cross has been removed from his post pending an investigation into allegations of adult sexual misconduct, according to the college newspaper.

The complaint against the Rev. Gregory Lynch is addressed in an email sent to students by the Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, the college president.

According to The Crusader, the president wrote that the priest’s removal from campus “does not represent a determination of Fr. Lynch’s guilt or innocence.” It also stated that the complaint in question did not occur at Holy Cross nor involve a student from the college.

The Rev. Lynch has been a priest for about a decade, most recently serving as an assistant chaplain and director of service and social justice programs at Holy Cross.
