The Country Club of Fairfield is a private golf and country club on Sasco Hill Road in the Southport section of Fairfield, Connecticut, on the shore of Long Island Sound beside Southport Harbor. Founded in 1914 by financier Oliver Gould Jennings and a group of friends, the club opened its 18-hole course in 1921. The course was laid out by Seth Raynor and later altered by A. W. Tillinghast, Robert Trent Jones Sr., Geoffrey Cornish and, most recently, restoration architect Bruce Hepner. The Country Club of Fairfield has consistently been ranked as a top course in Connecticut.

St. Anthony of Padua Parish (Fairfield, Connecticut)

St. Anthony of Padua Parish is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church in Fairfield, Connecticut, United States, in the Diocese of Bridgeport. The parish was established in 1927 as a national parish for Polish immigrants, one of a number of Polish-American Roman Catholic parishes in New England, and staffed by Conventual Franciscans. It was one of several ethnic congregations in Fairfield, others including St. Emery's, serving the Hungarian populace, and Holy Cross, the only Slovene church in New England.A new parish church designed by Anthony J. DePace of New York was built in 1970, but as demographics shifted, the parish lost parishioners as well as much of its Polish identity; its parochial school closed in 1973.Fr. John Baran arrived as pastor in 2002 from crosstown Our Lady of the Assumption Church. He ended a number of traditionalist practices and services, and set about improving the parish's outreach and community activity. As an homage to the Polish heritage, however, the parish picnic, held annually since 1978, does feature traditional Polish foods such as pierogies and stuffed cabbage.In December 2018, Bishop Frank Caggiano appointed Eleanor W. Sauers as Parish Life Coordinator, the first time a lay person had been appointed to head church administration in the diocese. Sauers had previously served as director of religious education, and had written her 2007 Ph.D. dissertation on the transformation of the parish.
