The Trappist Missionaries of Mariazell and Farview extended their activities to Mount Fletcher after 1920. Fr Jaeckel looked for a school site in the village in 1924; a church site at Fletcherville was obtained in 1923; in 1925 a piece of ground was purchased by Bishop Fleischer inside the village of Mount Fletcher Fr Martin of Farview was keenly interested in building a church and that church was completed and blessed by Bishop Grueter on the 16^th of November 1947. Mount Fletcher then had its own large church, but as yet no resident priest.

Fr Haussner was even more interested in Mount Fletcher and its outstations and worked towards the goal of residing in the village. He embarked upon a vigorous building programme. Next to the church he erected a steel scaffolding for three bells which were blessed by the bishop in November 1964. At the old outstation thaba Khubelu a larger and better church was built in 1965; after blessing this St. George’s church on the 6^th of April 1965, the bishop had great difficulty in returning to Mount Fletcher over the flooded and dangerous road. In September 1966; a further blessing of another solid church followed; upper Tokwana

Although the official date of its establishment is 1960, the roots of its origin go back to the 1920s, when the first Outstations were established. 1960 is the year when the first priest started to live in Mt. Fletcher. From then on St. Martin was no more treated like an Outstation of Farview.

Of the 11 Outstations 8 were built during the time of Fr. Clemens Truttmann, CMM between 1985 and 1994 and the time of Fr. Stefan Mandl between 1996 and 2008. As the Parish grew a Pastoral Centre was needed in order to conduct training courses for lay people. This was done in 1983. Dormitories were added in 2005.Residence Flats were built at the Centre.

A Garage at the Mission was built in 2000 and converted into an assistant priest house by Fr. Qumntu. 1997:  Extension of the priest house. Construction of the Dormitories of the Pastoral Centre by Mr. Hell, Matatiele.

Eskom electricity was installed at the Mission shortly before 1996.
