Burns, of the city's Queen's Park, committed the crime while on bail for a separate matter.
He pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the charge.
Burns' plea of not guilty to opening a lockfast cabinet with intent to steal at the church was accepted by prosecutor Sat Singh.
It was revealed that Burns has spent time in prison for previous thefts.
More information regarding the circumstances will be heard at the sentencing later this month.
