Empowering Local and

Sub-Regional BFD Chapters

Are you a BFD Leader organising a local Level 1 Matching Preparation Workshop, or an Il-Shim Ceremony for your community?

BFD EUME has a wealth of guidelines and material to help you organise these and much more!

Finding Support

The BFD has a strong support network and strives to support all Blessed families in Europe and the Middle East in their daily lives, in their relationship to their children or parents, and as a couple.

The Blessed Family Network

The Blessed Family Network is a place for our community to:

  • Meet each other through questions, prompts, and groups;

  • Share our stories, experiences, and ideas;

  • Go deeper together with content to support your Blessing and family life;

  • Ultimately, achieve results we want but are nearly impossible to get on our own without a community.
