The Pais Movement is an international, interdenominational youth and schools work organisation. Pais creates partnerships between schools, community projects and churches and acts as a catalyst to help empower young people.

The Pais Wigan Team is being developed as part of the new Youth Hub led by Ben Houghton. Each team member is hosted by different churches across the town and involved in their local youth ministry. Together the team shares ministry in schools across the town and are looking to develop new worshipping communities in alignment with the vision and aims of the Transforming Wigan movement.

We are excited to be hosting Lísia Arruda at St Mark’s this year. Lísia is 21, a photography graduate, and joins us from São Paulo, Brazil.
