"January 22 is the date of the Roe vs. Wade decision… that legalized abortion… Here in Minnesota, both houses of the Legislature and the Governor’s office are controlled by Democrats… Bishop Barron asks us to make our voices heard at this critical time. We invite you to take a card to send to our state representatives and senators… A short online search will tell you who your legislators are…"

Here are the sections of a church: Left side of church. 1; Left middle side of church 2, Left Main Isile 3.
//Ignore the right side as we can simply multiply by 2 {Right Main Isile 4, Right Middle side of Church 5, Right side of church 6}
Saturday 5:15 pm [Hard to estimate]
1: 6 people per row * 7 rows
2: 4 people per row * 12 rows
3: 5 people per row * 15 rows
(6*7)+(4*12)+(5*15)=165
size=currentSum*2; //For right side
165*2=330 people
Sunday 7:30 am
Identical to Saturday 5:15 pm for simplicity
330 people
Sunday 9:00 am
1: 10 people per row * 14 rows (all rows full this time)
2: 9 people per row * 14 rows (all rows full this time)
3: 6 people per row * 20 rows
140+(9*14)+(6*20)=386
size=currentSum*2; //For right side
386*2=772 people
Sunday 10:45 am
Identical to Sunday 9AM
772 people
Total
(330*2)+(772*2)=(330+772)*2=2204 people
Limitations:
This is only 1 church. Technically, this is one of Diocese of Winnona's bigger churches.
This is a lighter estimate. It could be larger.
They have like 14 churches in just this one town (not the Statewide Diocese) that are smaller. They would create their own bulletins that contain the same anti-choice announcement.
This is only the Catholicism; other religious groups can do the same.
"No one reads the bulletin" you say? They have after Communion announcements. Everybody will hear it.
