Between 1991 and 2004 Soderholm pastored two parishes in the town of Milton, Ontario, St. David's in the village of Campbellville, and Nassagaweya.

Glen Soderholm presently records on the Moveable Feast label, distributed via Signpost Distribution.

In June 2004 Soderholm founded Moveable Feast Resources, of which he is the full-time director.
