History
{{Main|Mangalorean Catholics}}
A large number of Goan Catholics immigrated to Canara in the 16th and 17th centuries due to various causes.{{cite web|url=http://www.dioceseofmangalore.org/history.asp|title= Christianity in Mangalore|access-date=30 July 2008|publisher=Diocese of Mangalore |url-status=usurped|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080622155343/http://www.dioceseofmangalore.org/history.asp |archive-date = 22 June 2008}}{{harvnb|Pinto|1999|p=124|Ref=pinto}} Padvals were the local Catholic converts of South Canara and did not mix with these Christian immigrants from Goa. In The Marriage Customs of the Christians in South Canara, India (1965), Severine Silva speculated that the Padvals in the Christian community were converts from Jainism.{{harvnb|Silva|Fuchs|1965|p=5|Ref=2}}
