Pastor Henry T. Taliercio

Pastor Henry T. Taliercio, 72 of South Greensburg passed away Thursday, November 16, 2023. 

In 1984, after 21 years of crime and drug use, God brought Henry out of darkness and into the marvelous light of Jesus Christ following his introduction to a Christian rehabilitation program.  In the months and years to follow, Henry’s life was radically changed for the Glory of God, where he immediately became interested in ministering to others with life-controlling problems.  Since that time of restoration, Henry began working with homeless people on the streets of Manhattan and became the director of an outreach center in Brooklyn, NY.  In 1995, Henry became a pastor at Word of Life Ministries in Greensburg, PA until 2010 when he founded The Father’s Heart Ministries, which was a fulfillment of his to help others with addictions.

Pastor Henry was born June 12, 1951, in Brooklyn, NY.  The son of the late Augustine and Elizabeth Taliercio.  He was a member of Word of Life Church, Greensburg, where he served as pastor before founding The Father’s Heart Ministries in Penn, PA.  Pastor Henry loved helping others in need through his church’s outreach programs. He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Anne Loretta (McKee) Taliercio; brother, Anthony Taliercio and sister, Carol (Ross) Perrone; niece, Elizabeth Perrone and nephew, Charles Perrone.  A memorial service celebrating Henry’s life will be December 9, 2023, 11:00am at Word of Life Church, 4497 State Route 136, Greensburg. Arrangements are under the care of Kepple-Graft Funeral Home, Greensburg. For online condolences, please visit www.kepplegraft.com.
