I have a pretty standard date as a string that I need to parse to a date type:

```
"2016-06-01T23:34:25+00:00"

```

I'm using `'YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MI:SS'` as the format mask and this query to try to get and parse the date:

```
SELECT to_date('last_updated_on', 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MI:SS') 
AS last_updated_on FROM locations 
limit 1

```

What happens is I get this error:

```
ERROR: invalid value ":2" for "MI"
SQL state: 22007
Detail: Value must be an integer.

```

I've looked all over in the documentation and on SO trying to find out why this is happening, and I'm totally baffled.

I'm using PostgreSQL 9.4
