From the Christ the King/St. Thomas/St. Salome bulletin:

“800+” is ambiguous. Fr. Tanck in the bulletin also refers to the attendance as “a little over 800.” Was it too hard to count and print the actual attendance numbers for St. Thomas like the leaders do for Christ the King? The number of people at St. Thomas “closing” Mass was easily around 1,000. The 1,000 capacity church was full and people were standing along the wall because there were no pews available. To make what appears to be a false claim that attendance was “a little over 800” is to downplay the excellent turnout so that it sounds less impressive than it really was.
