How is it possible that an ordinary couple from Edmonton, Alberta became knight and dame commanders in the Order of St.Sylvester? Journey with the Mardons' as they detail their experience of being inducted into the order and travelling to Rome to meet Pope Francis. The Mardons talk honestly about the difficulties of travelling while having physical disabilities, as well as about the mental health stigma still present in the Catholic Church. Luckily the Mardons returned home before the COVID-19 pandemic, but they speculate what it'll mean for Catholic traditions in the future. With a move towards limiting physical contact, it's possible Austin was the last Canadian to kiss the pope's ring.

Austin Mardon was a Canadian academic working towards his PhD when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was told by doctors a career wasn't possible, he'd likely be homeless, and having a wife and kids would never happen. Catherine Curry was living as a successful lawyer in Oklahoma, when she was attacked by a member from a white supremacist group, who stabbed her seventeen times. She miraculously lived, but was left with many physical injuries and PTSD. Both struggling to come to terms with their new reality, facing stigma, and searching for acceptance and understanding, they decided to try online dating. Three months later they were engaged. People said he was crazy because of his schizophrenia and she was even crazier for marrying him. The couple faced the challenges that come with any marriage while also navigating the challenges that come with mental illness, including symptoms, medication side effects, discrimination, and stigma. The Mardon's story explores mental health and marriage, giving insight into what it's like to love someone who has a mental illness. They share with readers the challenges they've faced and how they've learned to support each other through it all.

Austin Mardon is a respected advocate for the mentally ill. His academic career was cut short when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

He has also received the highest awards from the Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Schizophrenia Society. He was recently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Austin has also been an adjunct faculty member of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Alberta since 2015. In 2017 Austin was awarded the rank of Knight Commander of the Order of St. Sylvester by Pope Francis as recognition for his work for the mentally ill. Then on November 6, 2020 Austin had the honor of meeting the Pope in person in Rome. He is an author, lecturer, and advocate for the mentally ill, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Alberta's John Dossetor's Health Ethics Centre.
