The Christmas Eve message was critical of the IVF Process.
Tullamore Parish are apologising for a post on their now deleted Facebook page which portrayed controversial opinions on the IVF process.
In a statement on their website they're acknowledging that it's caused great distress and are apologising for the hurt caused.
The post which appeared on Christmas Eve - called the fertility treatment incompatable with the Catholic Faith.
The page has since been deleted and Tullamore Parish finish off their statement by saying they are supporting all expectant parents.
