Nellikar was once a stronghold of the Jain landlords.  In 1933, the Italian Missionary Fr Angelo Gaviraghi sj founded this mission and in 1935 this mission station was dedicated to St Victor on the Silver Jubilee of the priesthood of Bishop Victor R. Fernandes.  The church building was completed in 1939 and inaugurated on April 16, 1940.  Fr John M. Menezes was the first missionary parish priest.

In 1936 Fr Angelo Gaviraghi built the belfry.  The existing presbytery built by Fr Gregory Serrao was inaugurated on May 5, 1987 and the Grotto built by Fr Boniface D’Souza was inaugurated on April 11, 1993. 

On July 25, 1935 Fr Angelo Gaviraghi began St Victor’s Primary School.  Later on it was upgraded to higher primary school.  It is run by the church.  The new school building was constructed by Fr Felix Monteiro and was inaugurated on May 27, 2000.
