Navelim's congregation was first worked by the Jesuits in the 1590s; the present, Portuguese-style whitewashed structure was built later on when the more established building turned out to be too little. The remaking was clearly financed by a neighbourhood trader who was spared from liquidation through the intervention of Our Lady of the Rosary. As indicated by legend, this congregation was worked in mud like alternate chapels in Salcete in the vicinity of 1594 and 1598. The manufacturers were Jesuits and it was financed by the villagers. The primary area cleric of Navelim Church was a French Jesuit Fr. John Sena. As time passed, the congregation turned out to be little for the developing populace. Later on, it was reproduced with laterite stones on a bigger scale by a rich Goan vendor, whose name isn't given. This dealer, as indicated by legend, while going through the primary street running before the above chapel, got the message that he would lose a generous measure of cash in his business. When he got this message, he entered the congregation and began appealing to Our Lady of Rosary, asking for her to diminish him from this disaster. In the event that his petitions were replied, he guaranteed to recreate the first church, on a bigger scale. In the occasion he recuperated what he had lost, as well as acknowledged twofold the sum. He at that point financed the whole recreation of the congregation and furthermore restored the statue of our Lady of Rosary.
