Intervention by ACO North Waterloo Region with Kitchener Heritage. Includes 54-68 Shanley Street in Kitchener.

In April 2015, the Diocese of Hamilton submitted an application to demolish the Convent to mitigate parking problems at Polish Heritage Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Heritage Kitchener called an emergency meeting that recommended designation of the four listed Sacred Heart buildings: convent, rectory, former pastor residence and church. Thanks, in good part, to interventions by ACO member Charlotte Woodley, the application to demolish was withdrawn by the Diocese.

By September 2018, neighbours' concerns about the vacant buildings prompted City and Diocese to convene a community consultation on possible future uses for the Convent and the now vacant adjoining school. Diocese Director of Finance and Administration Jim Long assured the 80 participants – half of them neighbours, half Polish parishioners -- that both buildings would be adaptively reused.
