"We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life" (1 Jn 1,1)
50 years at the service of the Word of God
The Catholic Biblical Federation was founded in April 1969 with the encouragement of Pope Paul VI for the implementation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution Dei Verbum and in particular of its chapter on the Holy Scripture in the Life of the Church.
The CBF members’ rich experience in Bible sharing and in the development of translations and materials within the various world cultures over the years provides a real treasure that can benefit the Biblical pastoral ministry of all Catholic organizations and associations devoted to the important ecclesial mission.

Gemeinsam unterwegs. Bibel und Synodalität der Kirche… in einer zerbrechlichen Welt
Seit 2016 gibt es in der Pfarrei „Region Echternach St.-Willibrord“ etliche Initiativen in der Bibelpastoral, eine notwendige Dimension einer „Willibrorduskirche“. Das Pastoralteam der Pfarrei, in Zusammenarbeit mit der Katholischen Bibelföderation und dem Centre de formation diocésain, hat Prof. Thomas Söding eingeladen, uns mit seinen Gedanken und Überzeugungen zur Synodalität, zur Bibel und zur Bibelpastoral zu begleiten und herauszufordern.
