What do 14 deacons, one farmhouse, and 36,525 days have in common? caring. century of A It all began in 1911 when 14 deacons from the Reformed tradition gathered in Paterson to discuss a topic rarely mentioned in the early 20th century: mental illness. With their commitment to provide physical, mental, and spiritual care in a small farmhouse, Christian Health Care Center (CHCC) has grown from a 17-bed psychiatric hospital to include a broad spectrum of mental-health and elder-care services with 12 expansive buildings on 78 acres in Wyckoff and Hawthorne, with a satellite location in Wayne. CHCC’s vision has brought services to thousands of people in our communities. To learn more about CHCC’s complete capabilities, visit chccnj.org.

Long-time active parishioner Denise Walter recalls that Cull is “always easy to talk with and easy to listen to.” Affectionately known as “Father Larry,” the retiring pastor will be remembered for his wonderful homilies and vast knowledge of scripture and theology. His humor is legendary and he often used it in stories and anecdotes, making teachings easy to understand. He will be fondly remembered for his compassion and empathy as he journeyed life’s joys and sorrows with many families. Many congregants, like Diane Flynn, admire the retiring priest as a “wonderful pastor who has always encouraged and supported the involvement and efforts of the laity.” 4/7/11 2:06 PM 301 Sicomac Ave., Wyckoff, NJ 07481 201.848.5200 | www.chccnj.org 003167.CenturyOfCaring.6.75x10.5.indd 1
