In the Roman Catholic Liturgy on all Sundays and Solemnities, the Nicene Creed is recited or sung. During Lent and the Easter season the Baptismal symbol of the Church is the Apostle's Creed and it may be used instead of the Nicene Creed.
Although the Apostles' Creed can be used in a Catholic Mass, generally speaking most parishes use the Nicene Creed. Whichever Creed is used it comes towards the end of the Liturgy of the Word, after the homily.

The Apostles' Creed developed over time and does not have a single author. It is believed to be a statement of faith originating from the early Christian community and is traditionally associated with the apostles, summarizing key Christian beliefs.
The Nicene Creed is said at Mass because it is a more detailed and comprehensive statement of Christian beliefs compared to the Apostles' Creed. It was formulated by early Christian leaders at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to address specific theological controversies of the time. The Nicene Creed is considered to be a more authoritative and universally accepted statement of faith within the Catholic Church.
There are actually three creeds: the popular Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed as well as the Athanasian Creed.

The Nicene Creed is the creed or profession of faith that is most widely used in Christian liturgy. It is called Nicene because, in its original form, it was adopted in the city of Nicaea by the first ecumenical council, which met there in 325. The Nicene Creed has been normative to the Anglican and Roman Catholic Eucharistic rite as well as Eastern Orthodoxy liturgy.
Catholic Answer:Since 2002 the Apostles Creed may be substituted for the Nicene Creed at Mass, especially during Lent and the Easter Season. Previous to 2002 only the Nicene Creed was allowed at Mass, unless it was a children's Mass when the Apostles Creed was allowed.The Catholic version of the Apostles Creed is:I believe in God,the Father almighty,Creator of heaven and earth,and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the Virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died and was buried;he descended into hell;on the third day he rose again from the dead;he ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and life everlasting. Amen.
