According to The Belfast Telegraph guttering, lead from church roofs, purses, televisions and wheelie bins were all taken over a twelve month period.
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request showed that the province had been targeted all over, including Belfast, Omagh and Portadown.
Heating oil, a dishwasher and money from collection tins had also been stolen over the region.
Most commonly taken items:
- jewellery
- house keys
- bank cards and cash
Speaking to the paper, North Antrim Democratic Unionist Party Member of the Legislative Assembly, Paul Frew, the chairperson of Stormont's justice committee, said stealing from a place of worship was "a despicable act".
He went on: "The range of items that have been stolen shows the brazen attitude of those who have committed these opportunistic crimes."
He urged church-goers to keep their belongings safe and report anything suspicious.
Ulster Unionist Party justice spokesperson Doug Beattie described the figures as "staggering".
"It is a sad indictment of our society that so many people should have personal property and possessions stolen while they are at places of worship."
He called on the justice to be tougher on those that target churches.
"Light sentences do nothing to help public confidence in the justice system or to protect the public," he said.
