The transfer of the Mangalore Vicariate to the Italian Jesuits in 1878 and the establishment of the Mangalore Diocese in 1886 mandated the arrival of many Roman Catholic missionaries, particularly the Italian and Portuguese Jesuits, who were instrumental in building many churches in Mangalore. The Mangalorean Catholic style of constructing churches thus came to be influenced by the Italian and Portuguese style.
