Patrick Donald Moren, Esq., the oldest child of three sons, was born in Bovey, Minnesota on June 13, 1940 to Mary (nee Bedi) Moren, and Donald Moren. Pat grew up in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and from the age of 4, spent his summers at the rustic, hand built family cabin on beautiful Lake Pokegama. He was an avid water-skier and become so adept at the sport that he could ski on one bare foot.
Following his graduation from Grand Rapids High School in 1958, he attended St. Johnâs University in Collegeville, Minnesota. He was mentored there by University President Father Arno Gustin, who later was the Sacred Heart Parish priest in Roseau and a very close family friend. Father Arno had such a positive impact on Patâs life that Pat even talked about Father Arno as he was receiving his last rites.Â
