Teacher Information

A Bit About Me 
Hello! I am Sal Giorlando and I am the 5th-8th Grade Religion Teacher at OLG West Campus! I grew up originally in the town of Island Park on the Southern end of Long Island! I attended High School at Kellenberg Memorial High School, Undergrad at The Catholic University of America and Graduate School at the University of Notre Dame, Echo Program Studying Theology! This will be my first time teaching but it is my third year working in Education! I have previously served as a Campus Minister for the last two years at a Catholic High School. A few more fun things about me my favorite Saint is St Philip Neri. My favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 12:4-8 which is, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” And my favorite books are The Lord of the Rings series!

Message to Students
In my class, students in my class can look forward to learning in a way focusing on both faith and work. Learning and practicing faith that we learn and share in the classroom and in the community at large! My class has a strong focus on how we actively live out as believers in Christ in the world which is different from most of the other classes they will have! They learn how to live as good people in this class. These classes focus on living out service and our faith which we are just starting up1 Students here have the opportunity to begin a service initiative they are passionate about with support from myself and the other staff and faculty at OLG. We are looking to grow and truly come together as one people in Christ!
