Hoare was ordained in 1875 and was a curate at Holy Trinity Church in Tunbridge Wells.[4] After this he was principal of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) training college in Ningbo from 1878 to 1898.[5]

Hoare married his first cousin, Alice Julian Patteson on 14 December 1882 at Thorpe-next-Norwich[6]. Alice died in 1883.

Hoare's last post was as Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong[7] and the Warden of St. Paul's College, Hong Kong, to which he was appointed in 1898.
