There is an increasing number of people commuting to the greater Dublin area from the town.. It is the County Town of Westmeath. The congregation of All Saints\u2019 reflects the transitional nature of the town. The \u201cold stock\u201d is gradually being replaced by recent arrivals in the town. Killucan &amp; Kilbixy are typical rural churches with highly committed congregations. Parishioners of Almoritia use Kilbixy.<\/p>\n<p>All Saints\u2019 N.S. is a flourishing Primary School under church management. A high proportion of pupils go on to Wilson\u2019s Hospital School which is also in the Parish, is under Church of Ireland management and whose Trustees are Bishops of the Church of Ireland.cubent<\/p>\n<p>New Incumbent Revd Ian Horner will be Installed at a Service on June 19th 2025 in All Saints&#8217;
