The church in Nachinola was built in 1676; it is dedicated to Bom Jesus and celebrates the feasts of Santissimo Sacramento e Bom Jesus (1 January) and Sta. Ana (June). The Jesuit Fr. Moreno De Souza wrote that the small church lies tucked away in a corner and does not get noticed much. Engineer author José Lourenço describes its architecture as Mannerist Neo Roman in style. It is large with three bays and three storeys. Its main door has a bracketed arch. The frontispiece has Rococo curves flanking a broken pediment that frames a relief of the Sacred Heart. Spear finials top the frontispiece. Twin bell towers with balusters and finials are of the urn type. Nachinola and its neighbouring village Ucassaim have a unique relationship in participating in each other's feasts. Nachinola celebrates its Bom Jesus feast on January 1 each year and Ucassaim celebrates the feast of Saude Saibinn (Our Lady of Good Health) on the first Sunday of February, the confaria (a church local body) of each village invites neighbouring confraria, parishioners and parish priest for the feast of the other. The cemetery was expanded and blessed by Goa Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrão on June 20, 1998. Deities Vetall, Ramanatha, Mahalakshimi and Ravalnatha were shifted to Advalpale of Bicholim, due to religious intolerance in colonial Goa. Vetall was the main deity and the others were affiliates. There are believed to have been other deities in the temple. Nachinola also has a home for the aged, called the Bom Jesus Home for the Aged. It is run by the Missionary Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles (SRA Sisters). The Caritas orphanage Obra de Proteção a Mulher, one of only two homes in Goa that are adoption agencies, is run by the Congregation of Sisters Adorers Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament and of Charity (AASC).

According to one version of how the village got its name, a talented dancer called Nola would be encouraged to dance with pleas of "Nach go Nola, nach go Nola" (Do dance, Nola); this saw its name change from "Nachnola" to "Nachinola".

During the 2020 lockdown in Goa during the COVID 19 pandemic, Nachinola was in the news when some of its villagers took to helping those in need. In August 2020, farmers from Nachinola complained waterlogging in their fields was destroying crops because the drains had not been de silted and the problem was ongoing for two years. They had approached the Bardez Zonal Agricultural Office over this issue and sought an inspection. Village youth undertook clean up drives.
