The History of Mangalorean Catholics comprises three major eras. The first era consists of the Indo-Aryan inheritance from their ancestors, who once lived at the regions of the now extinct Saraswati River, and later migrated to Goa possibility due to the drying up of the river and/or Muslim invasion. The second era was the Lusitanian legacy, due to the conversion of their Hindu ancestors in Goa to Roman Catholicism by the Portuguese, and the final era being the migration of these Roman Catholics in Goa to Mangalore and other parts of South Canara between the mid-16th and mid-18th centuries, forming a new Mangalorean Catholic identity, and the subsequent growth and development of the community. Several centuries of living in South Canara gave these Catholics an identity of their own.

Historically, many of them had names of Christian saints, while Portuguese-language surnames were most commonly found.

The 2008 attacks on Christians in southern Karnataka were a wave of attacks directed against Christian churches and prayer halls in the Indian city of Mangalore, and the surrounding area of southern Karnataka, in September and October 2008 by Hindu organizations, the Bajrang Dal and Sri Ram Sena. The attacks were widely perceived by Christians in southern Karnataka to be punishment from the right-wing Hindu nationalist organisations because Christians had been outspoken about Christian persecution in Orissa, and after the murder of Swami Lakshmanananda, a Hindu monk, allegedly killed by the local Christian community. Additionally, because the New Life Fellowship Trust (NLFT), a fundamentalist, non-denominational Christian Church, was alleged by the Bajrang Dal to be responsible for forced conversions of Hindus to Christianity.
The Captivity of Mangalorean Catholics at Seringapatam (1784–1799) was a 15-year imprisonment of Mangalorean Catholics and other Christians at Seringapatam in the Indian region of Canara by Tipu Sultan, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. Estimates of the number of captives range from 30,000 to 80,000 but the generally accepted figure is 60,000, as stated by Tipu in the Sultan-ul-Tawarikh. The captivity was the most disconsolate period in the community's history. Its cause is disputed, although most historians consider it happened for political rather than religion reasons, owing to the alliance between the Mangalorean Catholics and the British during the Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780–1784).
