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.
