Saint Joseph Church Borimar has a great history to speak of. In the year 1893, the order was passed by then Bishop of Mangalore Diocese, the Most Rev. Dr Nicolaus Maria Pagani, to have a separate Church from Moganard Parish and establish in Barimaru village of Bantwala Taluku under the leadership of Rev. Fr Camillus Rego. He served there as the Parish Priest from the year 1893 to 1900. Later, from the year 1900 to 1901, Rev. Fr Antony Colaco served as the Parish Priest. During his time, at the request of the devotees of the church, the Bishop of Mangalore Diocese appointed Rev. Fr Sebastian Norohna, Parish Priest of Puttur Church as the first permanent Parish Priest of Saint Joseph Church Borimar. He served here from the year 1901 to 1904 followed by the tenure of Rev. Fr Gregory D'Souza from 1904 to 1906. Rev. Fr Dennis Louis served the church from the year 1906 to 1913. He started a Kannada medium school in the name of Saint Joseph. This was followed by the service rendered by Rev. Fr Monthu Menezes between 1913 and 1916. Rev. Fr David Coelho, in his tenure from 1916 to 1929, gave priority to the development of basic amenities of the church and the school, thus pioneering a new era of development. Rev. Fr A.J. Silva continued this developmental work during his tenure between 1929 and 1931.
