Biography

Kisiel was born in 1918 in Jundziłowo to Franciszek and Aniela (née Łowiec) Kisiel; he was baptized on 3 March.[1] He attended gymnasiums in Dzisna and Pinsk, graduating from the latter in 1937.[2] Afterwards, he began attending the seminary in Vilnius. He was ordained a deacon in 1941 and was ordained a priest on 14 February 1943 by Kazimierz Bukraba, bishop of Pinsk.[1]

In 1950, Kisiel began studying dogmatic theology at the University of Warsaw;[1] he obtained a doctorate in January 1953 with the thesis Wartości społeczne Wcielenia według św. Hilarego z Poitiers.[3][4] On 15 January 1976, Kisiel was made chancellor of the diocesan curia.[5] He was appointed apostolic administrator of Białystok and titular bishop of Limaty on 3 May 1976; he was consecrated on 27 June by Stefan Wyszyński.[1]

On 5 June 1991, Kisiel was made bishop of Białystok. On 25 March 1992 - with the promulgation of the papal bull Totus Tuus Poloniae populus - he was made archbishop of Białystok. He received his pallium at the Vatican on 29 June 1992. He resigned from the archdiocese on 15 May 1993 and died on 28 November; he was buried at the Białystok Cathedral.[3][5]
