Ordination date: May 28, 1977
Status: Active diocesan priest
Current assignment:
St. Leo Parish, Modoc;
St. Joseph Parish, Prairie du Rocher, Parochial Administrator
NOTE: A very busy priest--for now! Tomorrow, Fr. Stout will be transferred and be pastor of only Sacred Heart Parish in DuQuoin. Sounds like a fair and well-deserved assignment.
[NOTE: SORRY ABOUT MY ERRORS. Sometimes I am in too much of a hurry. Other times, such as a half hour ago the kids were breathing down my neck. They actually want to be fed lunch. The nerve!]

Prayer for Fr. Stout and all priests in the Belleville diocese and in the Church worldwide:
by St. Therese of Lisieux
O Jesus, eternal Priest,
keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart,
where none may touch them.
Keep unstained their anointed hands,
which daily touch Your Sacred Body.
Keep unsullied their lips,
daily purpled with your Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly their hearts,
sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood.
Let Your holy love surround them and
shield them from the world's contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant fruit and
may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and
consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and
everlasting crown. Amen.

Perhaps Fr. Stout will be a little less busy as of tomorrow, when he becomes pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in DuQuoin.
Also, you forgot to update the prayer intro (Fr. Thoonkuzhy's name is still there.)
Sorry to be so picky, but I know you like to be accurate!
For years Father Tom was the Spiritual Director for the TEC program, that's how I met him. He is an awesome priest, and a great guy.
