One Night Event Presented by Seminarian Alex Trujillo June 19, 2024 (English) | 7pm June 21, 2024 (Spanish) | 7pm He asked them āWhy have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?ā āBecause no one has hired us, they answered.ā āHe said to them, " You also go and work in my vineyard.ā - Matthew 20:6-7 I can say that my call to the seminary was a simple and direct invitation. In the same manner that Jesus called Matthew, Peter, and Andrew, I think about how Jesus calls people still today. Just like the workers in the vineyard, I was āidle,ā unsaved, in need of purpose, and above all, desired to be wanted by a generous, loving God. And so God calls all of us to produce good fruit regardless of our chosen vocation.
