He raised funds in England and Scotland, in 1834, to erect a church for the parish of St. Lawrence, allowing for the wishes of Edmund Pery, 1st Earl of Limerick, which meant that the church would be a chapel, attached to a charity, in this case an Asylum for Blind Females. The chapel was built that year, to a design by Joseph Fogarty. Hoare was made Rector of St Lawrence, Limerick in 1835, and Archdeacon of Ardfert in 1836. He became a chaplain in 1839 to Hugh Fortescue, 2nd Earl Fortescue, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
