SISINNIUS I, Saint. - Archbishop of Constantinople, d. 24 Dec. 427. First a priest in the suburb of Elia, on 28 February 426 he was elected to the Byzantine see instead of Philip of Side and Proclus, whom he later appointed bishop of Cyzicus.

St. Sisinnius condemned the sect of the Messalians and was, according to the testimony of his contemporary Pope Celestine, a simple man and faithful to Catholic doctrine. His feast is celebrated by the Greeks on 11 October.
