Thieves broke into All Saints Church in Hove on Christmas Day leaving a trail of destruction.
They broke precious stained glass windows, stole money from a collection box and caused damage that will cost more than £10,000 to repair.
All Saints has launched a major appeal to raise money to restore the historic stained glass, which was made worse by the recent break-in and vandalism.
As part of the fund raising they are hosting a Burns Night dinner on Saturday, January 25.
Tickets are £25 each and include a three course meal.
Mike Weatherley, MP for Hove and Portslade has condemned the theft and vandalism.
He said: “It was incredibly sad news to learn that All Saints was broken-in to on Christmas Day. The selfish thieves clearly had no regard for anyone else and have deprived a number of good causes of money after looting a collection box. Quite simply, targeting a historic building like this is a crime against all of Hove.”
