Europe
CBF Region of Europe is a region of great projects in the past and of equally great challenges in the present. The activity of the Catholic Biblical Federation was initated in Europe (Vatican) and also the General Secretariat of the Federation is located here (Sankt Ottilien, Germany). This oldest Region of the CBF is subdivided in three smaller subregions for better coordination among the CBF members.
