Kisi was born in Berat in 1881.
In 1948 he was found dead by poison. During World World War II Kisi backed up the initiative of Italy and the Vatican (subsequently aborted) to unite the Orthodox Church with the Uniate Church. Kisi and the OACA high hierarchy, in contrast to the stand of many Orthodox clergy and laity, were supportive to the anti-communist resistance movement after World World War II and had previously welcomed the decision from German authorities of extending the jurisdiction of Albanian church to the Diocese of Prizren and newly created bishoprics of Peshkopia and Struga.
Kisi was found dead, as a result of poisoning, in 1948.
His place as a primate was taken by communist regime faithful, Pais Vodica.
