The
Church
of
The Holy Comforter
traces its roots to the formation of
Fairmount
College
in what is now Monteagle, but which was then known as “Moffat’s Station.” Fairmount was situated on 50 acres that was given in 1870 by the Scottish-born preacher John Moffat who, in 1881, changed the name of the town to Mont Eagle in honor of his English friend, Lord Mounteagle. Originally a chapel on the campus of
Fairmount
College
, the
parish
Church
of The Holy Comforter was established to accommodate the non-student Episcopal citizens in the area.
