"The perpetrators have shown a complete lack of decency by stealing money from the church which would have come from the donations of parishioners. Effectively they have stole from the whole community.
"I would appeal to those who carried out this burglary, if they have any decency, to return the stolen sum of money to St Mary's Church."
