We have been teaching Sunday school together since 2022 and this year we have the privilege of teaching pre-K, kindergarten, and first grade. Our classes focus on the importance of prayer and learning different parables to teach the kids how to live God’s word at home with their families and at school with their friends. We also love to have fun and teach the importance of building a community in faith as well. Our kids come to class with great questions, and we feel we learn from them as much as they learn from us! Building the fundamentals of our faith is so important, and we feel blessed to be a part of the Sunday school program.

My name is Marika Maniatis and I was honored when the Sunday school director asked me to be a Sunday school teacher for my daughter, Triatha’s 2 nd grade class. Now my daughters,
Triatha and Effie are in high school and middle school, and I have enjoyed teaching them as well as all the kind and caring 2 nd and 3 rd graders in our community over the years. Before moving to Colorado, I grew up attending St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Flushing, NY.
At St. Nicholas I was a 1 st grade Sunday school teacher and grew up attending Greek school, Sunday school, GOYA and basketball where I learned the importance of our culture and faith. I am lucky to have found the same loving community here at the Cathedral, where my husband, Aristides grew up. I enjoy teaching the 2 nd and 3 rd grade curriculum of “Sharing God’s World” where through the introduction of Bible stories, traditions and Feast days of our church, children will begin to experience sharing, giving, and dealing with relationships at home, at church, and in the world in a positive manner.
Outside of church, I have been an actuary at PWC, KPMG, PartnerRe and DORA since graduating with a BA in mathematics from NYU and receiving my master’s in risk management and insurance. In my free time, I love traveling with my family and trying to appreciate camping, hiking and skiing that my daughters love.
