Fr. Glen officially arrived at st. Hedwig in August 2004, but he made his first "public appearance" at our annual church festival in June, where he participated in raising funds - a good beginning!

Fr. glen grew up in St. Louis Park, attended Benilde-St. Margaret High School and then the University of Minnesota. He entered the St. Paul seminary in 1990. Prior to coming to northeast Minneapolis, Fr. Glen was the pastor at St. Nicholas in New Market.

In addition to serving St. Hedwig, Fr. Glen is the pastor at St. Anthony of Padua, Holy Cross serves as the canonical administrator to Pope John Paul II Catholic School located at Holy Cross parish, and acts as chaplain to Catholic Eldercare and River Village. One of his innovations was to reintroduce a daily mass on Tuesdays at St. Hedwigs, which we have not had since Fr. Ted retired. He alternates with Associate Pastor Fr. Don Schwalm in celebrating weekend masses at St. Anthony and St. Hedwig.
