First Milagres Church (1680−1784)

Due to its substantial Roman Catholic population, Mangalore occupied a prominent place in the church administration in India during the 17th century. The Goan Catholics who migrated to Canara lacked priestly leadership, as many of the migrant priests had returned to Goa when the Portuguese withdrew from the region. In 1658, a Carmelite missionary, Fr. Vincento Maria de Santa Catharina visited Canara and reported to Rome about the miserable state of Christianity in that region. The Holy See came to the aid of the Canara Christians, and appointed a Theatine, Bishop Thomas de Castro as the Vicar Apostolic of Canara and Malabar in 1674. Bishop de Castro arrived in Mangalore in 1677, and received a piece of land from the Keladi Queen Chennamma as gift. After the church was constructed there in 1680, he took up residency in its quarters. Bishop de Castro died on 16 July 1684, and his remains were buried in the south eastern corner of the cemetery, where his grave may be identified by its bronze slab next to the St. Monica Chapel.

Milagres Church (Kallianpur)

The Milagres Cathedral (Portuguese: Igreja Nossa Senhora do Milagres, English: Church of Our Lady of Miracles) is a Roman Catholic Cathedral situated at Kallianpur in Udupi district, Karnataka.

The Milagres Church was originally established in 1680, as a result of a treaty between Rani Chennamma of Bednur and the Portuguese, and rebuilt in present form in 1881. The Church was upgraded to Cathedral status in 2012, giving a desirable fillip to the Konkani Catholic people.

History

During the period of the Keladi Nayakas, Kallianpur emerged as an important Christian settlement in South Canara. The church was constructed by the Portuguese in 1678, and dedicated to Our Lady of Miracles. The land on which the church was built was gifted to the local Christians by Rani Chennammaji and Somashekara Nayaka I.

Milagres (band)

Milagres is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, NY. The band was founded in 2006 under a different name and lineup, and independently released an album, Seven Summits, in 2008. After some lineup changes and regional touring, the band changed its name to Milagres and began writing and recording what would later become their second record. The band signed to the music label Kill Rock Stars in Spring of 2011, and released their national debut, Glowing Mouth, in September 2011. Milagres embarked on several national tours of the US, UK and Europe in support of Glowing Mouth. Kill Rock Stars released the band's follow-up, Violent Light, in 2014.

Formation

Kyle Wilson (lead vocals, guitar), Fraser McCulloch (bass, keys, backing vocals), and Eric Schwortz (guitar, backing vocals, percussion) met while attending New York University. Drummer Steven Leventhal had played in bands with Schwortz since high school. Keyboardist Chris Brazee knew McCulloch from high school, where they were in a band together. The band was on shaky ground when Wilson went on a mountain climbing expedition in 2010: he sustained a fall and back injury, and wrote many of the songs that would become a part of Glowing Mouth while bed ridden. Upon hearing the album, music label Kill Rock Stars signed the band without even seeing them.
