Common folk, collectively (6)

I believe the answer is:

masses

(Other definitions for masses that I've seen before include "Great numbers, at religious ceremonies?" , "Large numbers or amounts" , "Large numbers in church" , "Lots, services" , "Roman Catholic ceremonies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
