In an effort to give back to the Catholic church during a Jubilee year, ride share company Scooterino is using their technology to offer on-demand priest services soon. Scooterino Amen is likely something many Christians would consider this Easter weekend, as users will be able to receive a blessing, confession or even baptism from a priest in just minutes.
While it is probably better to be in the presence of God in an actual church, this would certainly appeal to people who for whatever reason are not able to be 'in the house.' The priest services will only be able to those in the Rome area, which is where Scooterino is based.
As increasing numbers of millennials identify as non-religious, this offering is one way to reach those without faith.
