I'm sorry but there are only 2 co-patron saints of France. First was Joan of Arc and the second was St. Therese de Lisieux.

Umm St. Denis IS one of the patron saints of France. He and Joan of Arc are the two, not Therese de Lisieux. I actually like this name pronounced the French way: de-Nee. Sounds cool. :)

When I read Denis, I think de-NEE, but when I read Dennis, I think DEN-is. Either way I don't like it too much.
