Stjepan Mišić was born in Bosanska Gradiška in Bosnia Eyalet in the Ottoman Empire. He attended four classes of elementary school in his birth town (1866–70), and then four lower classes of gymnasium in Ivanjska (1870–74) He joined the Franciscan novitiate in Fojnica in 1874. In Guča Gora he studied philosophy from 1875–78. Between 1878–1882 he studied theology in Esztergom, Hungary. He was ordained on 7 July 1882. Pope Pius X named him as Bishop of Mostar-Duvno on 12 February 1912.

After the establishment of Nazi puppet state Independent State of Croatia, Bishop Mišić repeatedly protested in the reports that he was sending to the Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac, because of atrocities that were committed against Serbs by the Ustaše.[1]

Bishop Mišić died on 26 March 1942 and the memorial mass was held on 29 March. On the same day, his body was transferred to Petrićevac near Banja Luka where he was buried.[2]
