Many of his compositions were written for use in Holy Rosary Cathedral; they include seven choral masses, four wedding songs, and several motets. A Proper of the Mass, Mass I and Mass II have all been published (Empire 1966); there is also an unpublished Mass III which, like Mass I and Mass II, is a congregational setting. For his church in White Rock, ten Hoope set liturgical texts to Gregorian chant and composed motets, including "Hail Mary, Star of the Sea."
