There is palpable anger and upset in the community near the North Fermanagh village of Kesh after Mullaghfarne Church Hall, which is linked to Ardess Parish Church, was targeted overnight.
The damage was discovered shortly after 3.15pm on Monday, July 7.
When The Impartial Reporter visited the scene on Tuesday morning, the full scale of the destruction was evident.
Every window in the small hall had been smashed, and the front door was visibly damaged.
Inside, parishioners said Bibles, hymn books and prayer books had been thrown out through the broken windows.
Shockingly, tomatoes, eggs and yoghurt had also been strewn across the interior.
A PSNI spokesperson confirmed officers are treating the incident as a burglary.
“It was reported that access had been gained to a church hall sometime overnight,” they said. “The front door has been damaged, all windows had been smashed, and it was also established a number of items from inside had been damaged or removed.”
Ulster Unionist councillor and Ardess parishioner John McClaughry told The Impartial Reporter he was "angry and disgusted" by what had taken place.
“A lot of hatred has gone into this attack. It’s quite sad,” he said.
Investigations are ongoing.
