Catholic priests may wear rings, with the exception of wedding rings (unless the priest was once in a different denomination, and was married, latter being accepted into Catholicisim as a priest, still being married).
Generally, it is the bishop who wears rings, and not the priests. The symbolism is that the bishop, in the person of Christ, is wedded to the Church.

Left hand if they are catholic, right hand if they are not catholic
I'm a Filipino Catholic, and when I got married both man and woman was told to put the wedding ring on their right fourth finger. The priest would say join your right hand, and then the blessing and putting of the ring followed.
The engagement ring is typically worn closest to the hand, followed by the wedding band. The engagement ring is usually given before marriage, while the wedding band is exchanged during the wedding ceremony. However, cultural and personal preferences may vary, and some people may choose to wear their wedding band closer to the hand.
