The Alleluia is a part of the Ordinary of the Mass.
The Ordinary is comprised of the parts of the Mass that do not vary from day to day. The Proper contains the prayers, preface, and whatnot that varies with the season, feast, etc. The prayers that are always the same: Gloria, Creed, Sanctus, Eucharistic Prayer, Our Father, Peace -those are the Ordinary.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Credo, Gloria, and Sanctus are all part of the Ordinary. I would assume that the Alleluia was as well, but I'm not sure.
If you type alleluia into a search engine you will find lots of information. The alleluia is part of the Catholic Mass and many other Christian masses or services.

The sequentia is part of the proper of the Catholic Mass. It is a specific type of chant that is sung during certain liturgical celebrations, particularly on feast days, and it follows the Alleluia before the Gospel. Unlike the ordinary parts of the Mass, which remain the same for every celebration, the sequentia can vary depending on the specific feast being celebrated.
It is sung just before the gospel reading, except during Lent, when it is not sung.
The words hallelujah, halleluyah and the Latin form alleluia are transliterations of the Hebrew word הַלְּלוּיָהּ (literally "all hail to Him Who is") with the religious context "praise the Lord". The capitalized form Alleluia applies to the liturgical chant during the Roman Catholic mass.
The word is spelled in different ways, depending on the usage:The interjection hallelujah is from the Hebrew for Praise God, halleluya. It is used for a general statement of thanks or praise. Hallelujah is the spelling of a song by Leonard Cohen that had ubiquitous use, and of the chorus from Handel's Messiah.The Latin version is alleluia and is capitalized Alleluia when referring to the specific liturgical expression used in a Mass.
The gospel acclamation is a short verse typically sung before the Gospel is read during a Catholic, Anglican, or Lutheran church service. It is a joyful expression of praise for the word of God being proclaimed.
During Lent, the Gloria and the Alleluia are not said or sung during the Mass. This is because Lent is meant to be a solemn time where we reflect on our sinfulness and how we can better ourselves. Both the Gloria and the Alleluia are joyful prayers. The Gloria is said on Holy Thursday, and then both the Gloria and the Alleluia are reinstated in the Mass on Easter Sunday.
There are several ways to spell the religious exclamation, the most common hallelujah, halleluiah, or halleluyah. The related term is "alleluia" (in a Catholic mass).(see related question)
