Anxiety is inevitable among humans but when it becomes discomforting,  then it becomes a pathology and that is why catholic vocational workers were tipped to be experiencing anxiety in the curse of their vocation hence, the question will anxiety exist among catholic vocational workers.

To accomplish this, the paper posits that the church should introduce a psychological service center among catholic vocational workers and this would make psychologists (behaviour engineers) indispensable among them. The present paper posits also that various empirical studies reviewed showed that catholic vocational workers suffer serious anxiety and many sources for such anxieties were pointed out with its attending theoretical frame works. It asserts that holistic study into the variables would go a long way in understanding the concept and reduce the psychological effects of anxiety suffered by catholic vocational workers.
