Paulette McCoy began singing in her parish choir at age eight.

She received a bachelor’s in music from Marylhurst University with emphasis on vocal performance, and a master’s in theological studies from the University of Dallas. She has performed in musicals, professional choirs and quartets throughout her career.
Paulette co-wrote a music program for “Young Audiences of America” promoting music and the arts in local elementary schools. An OCP employee from 1986 to 2005, she provided the music suggestions in The Catholic Catechist’s Companion.
