He joined the Roman Catholic Church in 1855. However, after fifteen years in the Catholic Church, he applied to his Bishop, Samuel Wilberforce, to be reinstated as a clergyman in the Church of England, and his request was granted. Jesus College appointed him as rector of Wigginton, Oxfordshire in 1876. When the position of vicar of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in Oxford became vacant in 1878, no Fellow of Oriel College wished to accept the appointment and the position was then offered to Ffoulkes, who had previously assisted at services.cite news|title=Rev.

Ffoulkes wrote several theological works, including "Christendom's Divisions", "The Church's Creed or the Crown's Creed", and "The Primitive Consecration of the Eucharistic Oblation". His final work was "The History of St. Mary the Virgin". He also lectured in Divinity to the non-collegiate students at Oxford.
