A Revived Ursuline Convent

Deepen your sense of personal identity through a semi-monastic life of prayer, sacraments, and Catholic academics in joyful Christian community.

Where are we?

Bruno, Saskatchewan

We are part of the St. Bruno Catholic Parish which is situated in “the cherry town of the prairies”, Bruno, SK.

Bruno has a population of around 600. It has grocery, gas, and hardware stores, a post office, a library, a restaurant, an artificial-ice skating rink, a pharmacy, various trades, and a vibrant Catholic parish. We are less than one hour from Saskatoon and twenty minutes from Humboldt.

It’s little, much like St. Thérèse’s village of Lisieux or Jesus’ backwater town of Nazareth. Life is slow and steady here, and the sky is wide and beautiful.

The Historic Building

Our beloved building is a historic 65,000 sqft former Ursuline convent and school. It houses our chapel, classrooms, dorms, and everything in between. The center part of the facility dates back to 1918! Our 65-acre grounds are decked with wooded paths and orchards, which make for lovely walks. The adjacent grounds of St. Bruno Parish feature a beautiful grotto to Mary, Mother of Mercy, and and outdoor Stations of the Cross.
