This might be a double definition.

'in church' is the first definition.
'mass' can be an answer for 'church' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'in' bit.

'a lot' is the second definition.
(I know that lot can be written as mass)

'it means' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mass that I've seen before include "Accumulation" , "load" , "Religious celebration" , "what 13 15A [STANDARD MODEL] supposes 12 [HIGGS BOSON] gives other 5A [PARTICLES]s" , "Heap; religious service" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
