Born to a family of well-off Lithuanian farmers, Borisevičius was educated at the boys' gymnasium of the Church of St. Catherine in Saint Petersburg, Sejny Priest Seminary, and University of Fribourg in Switzerland.

Accused of various anti-Soviet activities, including supporting Lithuanian partisans, Borisevičius was arrested by the NKVD in December 1945 and again in February 1946.

Borisevičius was born in the village of Bebrininkai [lt] situated on the banks of the Šešupė river and located near Pilviškiai.

Therefore, he was ordained as a deacon and was sent for further studies to the University of Fribourg in Switzerland by bishop Antanas Karosas of the Diocese of Sejny.

[10] During World War I, when Germans briefly captured Kalvarija, Borisevičius was taken as a hostage and later faced Russian inquiries for collecting German-imposed contributions.

[13] In Minsk, he organized financial aid for Lithuanian students and received a silver tableware set from Madeleine Radziwiłł worth 30,000 rubles which became the basis for the charitable fund of the Catholic youth federation Ateitis and was later used to finance the construction of its headquarters in Kaunas.

[16] Due to the hostile anti-religious atmosphere and attitudes, both from students and administration, Borisevičius resigned from the Realgymnasium in June 1919.

[19] He also supported the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party and agitated people to vote in the elections to the Constituent Assembly of Lithuania.

[24] Staugaitis organized the new diocese and invited Borisevičius to become his vicar general and later the first rector of the new priest seminary in Telšiai.

[29] He strictly enforced the discipline, insisted on showing proper respect to superiors, and was not hesitant to expel the students for "lack of calling".

[32] He also contributed articles to various Lithuanian Catholic periodicals, including Vadovas, Šaltinis, Žiburys, Laisvė, Rytas, Spauda ir gyvenimas, Žemaičių prietelius, Ateitis, but mostly to Tiesos kelias.

[34] He was a member of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul that helped the poor and a strong supporter of the Catholic Action movement.

[38] When in mid 1944, as a result of the Baltic Offensive, Red Army took control of most of Lithuania, Borisevičius refused to follow the example many other Lithuanian members of the clergy and intelligentsia and retreat to the West escaping future communist persecutions.

He was offered a deal – cooperate with Soviet authorities in exchange for a pardon, but, after a discussion with Archbishop Mečislovas Reinys, he refused.

[40] On 3 January, Borisevičius sent a letter to NKGB listing examples of how he had helped Jews, communists, and Russian POWs and citing John 10:11 (The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep) to explain his refusal to cooperate.

[41] He was arrested again on 5 February 1946 and kept in the prison at the NKVD headquarters in Vilnius (present-day Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights).

[45] In February 1990, Lithuanians initiated the beatification case of Borisevičius and archbishops Teofilius Matulionis and Mečislovas Reinys, who were also repressed by the Soviets.
