Before becoming bishop Hopkins was editor of The Angelus, the Roman Catholic newspaper for British Honduras (later "Belize"), and chronicled the early history of the mission.
Much of what he wrote was from his own experience, as of the need to "get out of the pitpan and pull it up the raging waters."
While bishop he wrote The Catholic Church in British Honduras (1851-1918).
On 9 April 1923, Hopkins died when a coastal boat that he was travelling in sunk, taking his life and that of two sisters headed with him to the Corozal mission.
