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.
What else can I help you with?
When is the Nicene creed used in mass?
I just found out the answer to this. The Nicene creed is used in mass (Eucharist) whereas the Apostles' creed is used at baptism, usually in an interrogative form. Read more about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostles'_Creed
What other creeds do we have besides the Nicene Creed?
There exist also the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed, but the Eastern Orthodox Church only uses the Nicene Creed during its services. In the Catholic Church the Nicene Creed is primarily used during Mass. However, the Apostles' Creed is sometimes substituted, especially for a children's Mass. The Apostles' Creed is used most frequently in daily prayers, such as the rosary. The Athanasian Creed is extremely long and almost never used except as an historical reference.
What part of the mass is the Apostles creed prayed?
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.
What creed do you use during Lent?
The same Creed that you use year round. Thus it would be the Nicene Creed at Mass, and the Apostles Creed when you are praying the rosary.

Should the Nicene Creed be recited for a valid liturgy?
Yes, because it is a sum up of the faith. However note : There are other creeds the original Nicene creed without the addition of the Filioque is recited in all Eastern churches and can be recited in Western churches but the Nicene creed with the addition of the Filoque is the main creed for the Western churches. There are two other creeds, the Apostles Creed which is sometimes said at Mass and the Athanasian Creed. The Nicene Creed is said only at Sunday Mass and on Holy Days of Obligation. It need not be said at daily Mass unless the priest or congregation prefers to do so.
What Apostles Creed is used in the Catholic Church?
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.

Why don't the churches use the creed?
But they do. In most Catholic masses, and certainly in the Anglican Eucharist service (or 'Holy Communion - the Anglican equivalent of the Catholic mass) the Creed is said at each service. usually this is the creed set down by the Council of Nicaea (the 'Nicene Creed') but sometimes the Apostles' Creed is used instead. In most other denominations, the two Creeds above are not often used, but a brief statement of faith is used instead. As for the Athanasian Creed, I cannot be sure what Catholics do here, but in many Anglican Churches, as this creed is primarily to do with the doctrine of the Trinity, it is often recited on Trinity Sunday.
What is the niccene creed?
