In 1952 there were 80 professed sisters, up from 55 in 1934.{{cite web | title =Peel's Prairie Provinces: St Ursula's Academy, Bruno Saskatchewan (Peel 7425) | url =http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/7425/3.html | access-date =2012-12-30}} Additional building expansions happened in 1962 (gymnasium) and 1977 (convent infirmary wing).
