SeePoint announces video kiosk deployment with Catholic ministry
November 30, 2009
California-based SeePoint Technology has announced a video kiosk deployment with Oblate Media and Communication Corp., the media division of the Roman Catholic organizations Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI).
According to a news release from SeePoint, the kiosks will be installed at OMI's Oblate Retreat Centers and Shrines in Illinois, Massachusetts and Texas. The Internet-enabled, touchscreen devices will display short documentaries and testimonials featuring dynamic life experiences of current priests and brothers and catering to young Catholic men considering a career in Catholic service.
Will Shaw, director of production and marketing for Oblate Media, says the technology will help the organization reach young people more effectively:
We are hoping to plant a seed — the idea that the priesthood may be their calling. (Candidates for priesthood) start thinking about serving the church at a young age. Many teens who visit our centers are in Catholic schools, and some of them are already kicking the idea of entering the priesthood around. The assumption is that these young people are interested in technology. We are trying to cast the bread out as far as we can.
