Excellence and Enjoyment Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School with Christ at our Centre Excellence and Enjoyment NEWSLETTER Friday 6th October 2017 “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to tenants and went far away. Later he sent three servants to collect the fruit he owned. But the tenants beat one, stoned one and killed another. The landowner sent his son but the tenants killed him.” Then Jesus said, ”When the landowner returns to the vineyard, he’ll remove those tenants and give the vineyard to good tenants instead.” Matthew 21: 33-43 Pope Francis “May we help people to discover the joy of Jesus’ Message.” We too can be God’s messengers, sharing God’s joy and love – making life better for all, at home, at school and in the community.
