HISTORY :
Once the part of Agrar, Allipade was established as an independent parish on May 22, 1938 by Bishop Victor R. Fernandes. Prior to this it was served from Agrar and a small school built there served as a chapel. Fr Aloysius Furtado was appointed on March 9, 1939 and installed on March 16 as the first parish priest. He stayed at the school. Mass was celebrated in a thatched shed. Fr Paul D.G. Rego of Agrar had built the earlier presbytery. The existing church was built by Fr Gilbert Pinto (1948-1967). It was inaugurated on December 26, 1955 by Bishop Peres. Mr Felix Albuquerque of Mangalore had donated timber worth Rs 2,000/- to the church at the time of its construction. Fr G. Pinto constructed a road to Allipade. He also bought the bell worth Rs 1,000/- from the Milagres church, Mangalore. Fr Michael Pereira (1967-1979) built the presbytery, Fr Alban D’Souza (19863-1993) built the belfry. The church was renovated by Fr Alexander Lobo (1994-2002).
In 2017, the church underwent reconstruction under the guidance of Rev. Fr Fredrick Monteiro.
Location: The Church is situated on the western banks of the Netravati at Sampady grama in Bantwal Taluk and about 35 km east of Mangalore City. Shamboor, Madanthyar, Nirkan and Borimar are its immediate neighbours.
