The Alangar mission was started by the late Rev Fr Faustine Corti S.J. belonging to the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1920 when he was serving in Naravi parish. Due to the hard work and tireless efforts of Fr. Corti, St. Thomas School was founded in 1921. After him, Rev. Fr. A. Jiaro of the same congregation of Society of Jesus continued to lead the school. In 1929 Rev. Fr. Elias Dsouza became the administrator of the school.

Alangar became a parish in 1929.

When late Rev. Fr. Francis Xavier D’ Souza (fondly called ‘Poki Padryaab’) was the Parish Priest (1958 - 1971), sensing people’s need, he built 2 churches, one at Moodbidri Town (Corpus Christi Church) and the other at Belvai (St Martin De Porres Church). Both the churches were declared independent parishes in 1971 and Fr. Francis Xavier D’ Souza became the first Parish Priest of Belvai Church on June 1, 1971.

In 1996 English Medium School was started and the Platinum Jubilee of the Kannada medium school was celebrated in a grand manner during the tenure of parish priest Rev. Fr. Dennis Castelino. He also renovated the church in 1999.

New Presbytery, Mini Hall and the School New Building were Blessed and Inaugurated by Most Rev. Dr. Aloysius Paul D’Souza, Bishop of Mangalore on 14th May 2014 during the tenure of parish priest Fr Basil Vas (2010- 2017).
