Group sainthood is a thing. For example, 2000 of the priests executed by anarchists during the Spanish civil war were proposed to sainthood, of which 233 were canonised in one event in 2001 by pope JP2. There were even some controversies about them being fascist shits but JP2 told the malcontents he don't care and shut up (he also lied, he does care, he very much liked nazis).
There is also the Ten Thousand Martyrs, allegedly crucified on the orders of emperor Diocletian, but even church can't agree if they even existed or it's just a legend (of course in reality it's just a legend that went viral as a meme in XIV and XV century).
