In the Latin Rite, it usually takes place after First Holy Communion, and after the age of twelve, as determined by the Bishop.The important part of confirmation is when the Bishop (or a priest representing him) anoints you with Sacred Chrism.

What does it mean to be anointed with chrism?
Catholic AnswerThe Sacred Chrism is what has been used to anoint kings, prophets, and priest throughout history, and throughout the Bible. The very name "Christian" comes from the Sacred Chrism as Christ was the anointed one, and all Christians are, as well. After our baptism with water, the priest anoints us with the Sacred Chrism, thus anointing us into Christ's priesthood, His kingship, and His role as a prophet. fromThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941241 The anointing with sacred chrism, perfumed oil consecrated by the bishop, signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit to the newly baptized, who has become a Christian, that is, one "anointed" by the Holy Spirit, incorporated into Christ who is anointed priest, prophet, and king.

In confirmation what are the signs of the holy spirits presence?
.Catholic AnswerKeep in mind that the Holy Spirit is God, as such He is completely Spirit, and the only signs we normally have of God's presence are the two: 1) The very fact that we are physically here. If God were not continuing to hold us in existence, we wouldn't be here to worry about whether He existed or not..2) The main "sign" that the Church gives us to indicate the Spirit's presence is the Sacred Chrism, which is consecrated by the Bishop right before Easter each year.fromThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994The sign of Confirmation is the anointing with Sacred Chrism (see sections 1293-1301, 1320 of the Catechism). Symbols would include the dove and fire, both of which symbolize the Holy Spirit..1293 In treating the rite of Confirmation, it is fitting to consider the sign of anointing and what it signifies and imprints: a spiritual seal..Anointing, in Biblical and other ancient symbolism, is rich in meaning: oil is a sign of abundance and joy; (Cf. Deut11:14; Pss 23:5; 104:15) It cleanses (anointing before and after a bath) and limbers (the anointing of athletes and wrestlers); oil is a sign of healing, since it is soothing to bruises and wounds; (Cf. Isa. 1:6; Lk 10:34) and it makes radiant with beauty, health, and strength..1294 Anointing with oil has al these meanings in the sacramental life. The pre-baptismal anointing with the oil of catechumens signifies cleansing and strengthening; the anointing of the sick expresses healing and comfort. The post-baptismal anointing with Sacred Chrism in Confirmation and Ordination is the sign of consecration. By Confirmation Christians, that is, those who are anointed, share more completely in the mission of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit with which he is filled, so that their lives may give off "the aroma of Christ." (2 Cor 2:15)
