Joseph Charles Hoare was the fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Victoria, in office from 1898 to 1906. The province's official history records that he belonged to the Church Missionary Society, had worked in Ningbo before coming to Hong Kong, and devoted his energy during his episcopate to theological education and the seafarers' mission. The official pages do not state his years of birth or death, nor the number of ordinations or churches built under him.

What is not on this page
The Chinese occupation and notable works are recorded in Chinese only; this page does not machine-translate them. They appear on the Chinese entry for 霍約瑟.
Directory entries that carry only a name and a title in the official register have no English biography and therefore no English page.
