Time for Lytle’s St. Andrews Catholic Church festival tickets

Pablo and Carolina Cortez with Father Anthony after he sold 1392 tickets and raised $6960 in 2025 for St Andrews Church Festival drawing.

Tickets for Lytle’s St. Andrews Catholic Church Festival annual drawing are here again, ready to be sold!!
My name is Pablo Cortez, a parishioner at St. Andrews. Although I am not a member of the festival committee, I am doing this on my own to sell as many tickets as I can to help my church community.
Last year I was able to sell 1,392 tickets and raised $6,960. I wish to thank everyone who helped me in any way, very, very much. I am sure that our Lord will repay you and bless you in some way. Once again, I am hoping you can help me this year. If you can afford to purchase some tickets from me, please call me at (210) 440-0110.
This year, I am asking business owners if they are able and willing to help me sell more tickets, as I have raised my goal. I have come up with an idea. I believe you can help me in this way, you could buy a ticket for each of your employees. I know, it’s going to cost some money, but think of the benefits! They will be great. I’m sure your employees would appreciate your kindness and show it in return by the good job they will do for you. Also, you could claim it during tax season and receive it back. Therefore, if you can find it in your heart to help me be successful with this idea, I’d be very appreciative.
Here is something I have thought about. Sometimes large companies who donate large items like cars or big money don’t ever show their employees that they are appreciated, even though they’ve spent an enormous amount to help an organization. I really believe sometimes the little things you do make a greater difference. Even a small organization can show their big heart in this way.
I really appreciate everyone’s generosity. I hope to personally thank everyone in a “Letter to the Editor” in the local newspaper when ticket sales are over, so be on the lookout. May God bless you.
Pablo Cortez

P.S. People always ask why I bother to sell so many tickets. I have a sentimental reason I will briefly explain. My dad, Aniceto Cortez, born in 1908 in the Coal Main community in the outskirts on Main Street, Lytle, is where the original and historical church was located and still stands, Immaculada Conception. Due to the deplorable conditions of the roads, it was decided to build a new church on Main Street and because of a large donation by a stranger passing by, the church’s name was changed to St. Andrews.
My dad was one of the brave men who climbed the steeple to place the steel cross and large bell on top. Every time I see the steeple and bells or hear the bells I think of my daddy and how his descendants are enjoying something from his labor. I would like to do the same. My dream is to raise money to build a porch in front of the church for people to shelter from either the hot summer sun or spring rains. I’m hoping that after loans are paid for with these fundraising events, I can soon help to raise monetary funds to build a porch for the future congregation to enjoy long after I am no longer around. I’m hoping I can see this dream become a reality.

Geronimo “Jerry” De La Rosa Jr.

Attorney Geronimo “Jerry” De La Rosa Jr. was born on December 22, 1945, to Acensión and Geronimo De La Rosa, Sr. in Devine, Texas. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on January 30, 2026. Jerry lived a full life defined by love, laughter, and an unmistakable joy for living.
After graduation from Devine High School, Jerry joined the Army. Upon completing his military service he went on to attend San Antonio College, St. Mary’s University’s Law School, and later graduated from Thurgood Marshall School of Law (TMSL) at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas. Jerry was a dedicated attorney for 39 years in San Antonio, Texas. He was an advocate for social justice and volunteers at various local organizations. Jerry was a lifetime member of the VFW Post 8936 in San Antonio’s Westside.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 535 years, Anna Maria De La Rosa, with whom he shared a lifetime of devotion, partnership, and countless memories. He was a proud and loving father to his girls Erica Raquel De La Rosa (Stephen Waters Jr.), Gabriela De La Rosa (George De La Rosa Garza), and Veronica De La Rosa-Brandon (Wes Brandon). Jerry was a cherished, loving and silly grandfather to Amelianna, Luz Maya, and a soon-to-be-born granddaughter. Jerry adored his wife, girls and granddaughters.
He is also survived by his siblings Maria Elena De La Rosa, Agapito De La Rosa (Virgina De La Rosa), Maria Graciela De La Rosa, and large extended family of numerous cuñadas y cuñados from Uvalde and San Antonio, many sobrinas y sobrinos, and family friends. In his last years, Jerry was given excellent care by his caregivers Teresita Foose and Brandie Smith (honorary daughter and sister-in-law of Veronica). All were touched by his love, warmth and humor.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Geronimo De La Rosa Sr. and Acensión, and his sister Dominga Aguallo.
Jerry loved life in motion and in music. His hobbies included dancing, cycling, racquetball, swimming, hunting, singing, and listening to all types of music. He was a truce connoisseur of sweet delights, an enthusiastic fan of action movies, westerns, Star Trek, and comedies, and someone who never missed a chance to make others laugh and smile. He found peace in napping and gardening, had a special gift as an “animal whisperer”, and was known to all as a natural jokester with a generous heart.
Jerry’s love, laughter, kindness, and larger-than-life spirit will live on in all who knew and loved him.
In his 60’s, Jerry attended a church where he was baptized in the name of Jesus. His love and faith continued being strong for the Lord.
Visitation was held at Funeraria Del Angel Roy Akers, located at 515 North main Ave., San Antonio, TX 78205, on February 8, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. A rosary took place at the same venue on February 8, 2026, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Lytle golf growing in numbers, confidence as district nears

Lytle Head Golf Coach Arnold Martinez has put together quite the program on both the Pirate and Lady Pirate side of things.
Martinez stated that the programs have grown in record numbers, and the future is looking bright as district is right around the corner.
Martinez said about the district preview tournament held at Mission Del Lago Golf Course, “We had a great day as these ladies finished in 3rd place as a team even with 45 mile wind gusts. They ‘weathered’ through the morning and played inspiring golf. I am so proud of these girls for grinding out some very decent rounds!”
The Pirates fielded two complete teams in their preview tournament. Jordan Rodriguez’s personal-best 88 led Team Gold’s 391 total score followed by Isaac Boroquez 96, Daniel Herrera 99, Chris Jacques 108, and Kaden Stoddard 110.
Team Black was paced by Lee Mills and his sub-100 92 posting. Toby Stillions 103, Easton Burley 106, Domonick Ramirez 115, and Coltyn Dean 116 rounded out the 416 team-scoring effort.
Martinez looked back on the season in its entirety by sharing the following.
“Favorite bonding moment: Boys–we had a Uvalde trip and spent some time at Robb Elementary. It was real intense and bonded us. Had nothing to do with golf.
Girls–our morning breakfast and after tourney lunches. Get to know these girls on a different level.
Biggest strength on both sides is the team comradery. These golfers really like each other.
Under the radar players: Boys–Kaden Stoddard, he got the golf bug a year ago and has practiced a lot. It has paid off, he’s 20 strokes better than he was a year ago.
Girls–Yolette Laureano, she had never played and began by taking lessons from a golf pro and then started going to practice golf 3 to 4 days a week. She is probably the 2nd best golfer on our girls team.
One word to describe the program…… Satisfied. I am satisfied that these student athletes have learned enough in the program that they can play golf for a lifetime.”
It takes a group of people coming together to not only make a tournament happen but to make it run smoothly, and no one is more aware of that than Martinez.
“We hosted the 28-AAA District Preview as 15 teams participated. Staff, parents, and admin helped make today a success. Our boys represented our community with pride and our tourney got rave reviews, but we all know it takes a village. Special thx to AD Lori Wilson for incredible support, Coaches Caballero, Vela, Trevino and Ruiz, Ms. Jacques and Mr. and Mrs. Perez. And last but NOT LEAST, Ms. Ada, she’s the best!”
District 28-3A is back at Mission Del Lago on April 1, and it sounds as though Martinez likes his teams’ chances of extending their 2026 season with a trip to Regional on the line.
