Father Olalia crossed the China Sea ten years ago last Sunday, traveling in Singapore and from there across the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea to Rome, where he studied with 2500 students from all over the world at the Gregorian Pontifical University. Father Olalia described vividly one of his audiences with Pope Pius XII and also one of the several canonization ceremonies which he attended at St. Peter's.

He remarked about the Pope's facility to speak nine languages, thus enabling him to converse with pilgrims from every part of the globe. Father Olalia was obliged to leave Rome in 1942 because of the dreadful food and fuel shortage prevailing in Italy at that time. An exchange of prisoners between Italy and the United States enabled him to come to America, where he finished his studies at the Catholic University at Washington and accepted the professorship, at Conception Seminary.
