Fr. Glenn served as pastor at St. Joseph Parish in San Jose, Tacloban City (1998-2003) where he devoted himself to adult and youth faith formation. He promoted the catechetical ministry among public school students. Then he was reassigned back to the seminary (2003- 2005). Fr. Glenn came to Tampa for a sabbatical in January 2006. Subsequently, he was assigned to six different parishes within the Diocese of St. Petersburg before being assigned to St. Thomas the Apostle Church in 2018, where he was installed as pastor in 2020.
