#### Sower of the Seminary

Edward Riojas, 2012, oil on wood

The artist depicts the ministry of Word and Sacrament by picturing Jesus at his 
baptism and the Last Supper and by placing the resurrected Jesus as the sower in
the famous Parable of the Sower. The inclusion of the Seminary buildings in the 
backdrop of the center panel highlights this as the place where men are formed for
this ministry.

The _Sower of the Seminary_ triptych was commissioned as a gift by the graduating
class of 2012.
