Tried very hard (went to many sites), Catherine, but no luck.
Found information about her, but no picture.
If you can figure out how to write to the Basilica in Fatima, Portugal, you could ask them for a holy card or a photo of their statue of St. Beatrice. [The statue is mentione here ... http://santuario-fatima.pt/locaiseng.htm]

I have some good news for you, Catherine!
Something (or Someone?) pushed me to give this another try -- and I had a bit of success for you!

I found three pictures of St. Beatrice (Beatrix/Beatriz) da Silva Meneses.

Here is a link to a site with a picture and a prayer for her intercession, in Portuguese. Here is a link to the picture all by itself.

Here is a link to a big picture.
And here is a final link to the site with a smaller picture of the saint with Our Lady and the child Jesus.

Please let me know if you need links to English-language pages that give biographical information about St. Beatrice.

God bless you.

Thanks, David.
Hey, Catherine. Did you notice, in the big picture, that the paper St. Beatrice is holding says "INNOCENCIO VIII"?
The saint was Portuguese, but spent many years in Toledo, Spain, founding a congregation of sisters there. Now the Spanish words, "Innocencio VIII," refers to Pope Innocent VIII, who approved the rule of St. Beatrice's congregation.

John,

Thanks for explaining the sign. I saw that and was going to try to find out what that meant.

You're welcome, Glenn.
I just realized that I spelled "INOCENCIO" incorrectly. There is a double-N in English and Italian, but not in Spanish.
