If the parents are supportive of raising them Catholic, then I see no problem if you are committed to see it through to their adulthood.

Baptism requires a reasonable expectation the child will be raised Catholic.

As long as their parents are fully supportive and agree and give permission, yes they can be.
If any of that is lacking, no.

There has to be a reasonable expectation that they will be raised faithfully in the Church
 
Maybe you taking the kids to Church will also help your daughters overcome their trauma left by their father?
You are all in my hope and prayers.
 
And there is no saying against your own children becoming Catholic as well.
Archangel Gabriel please help here.
 
You came for advice then you reject it on the basis we dont live your life? Ok. But my advice was solid and stands. It applies to all lives lived. Pray and let your focus be that your own children come to the Church then they can fulfill their responsibilities with their children.
You will do as you wish I suppose. But perhaps a better theater for you to recieve advice is your own parish priest who does know the life you live.
 
Ok. I was just thinking that if the daughter would be willing to have her daughter raised Catholic and instructed in the faith while being scared of what their grandfather who seems to have control of many lives here it would be odd. So making sure the daughter wills this for her children would be prudent. She can go to a priest first and he might tell her the same. Either way it will clarify the path to take.
I wish the OP good luck and I’ll say a prayer for her daughter.
Also thistle you will notice in my last post I said her parish priest may be the one who knows the situation better. I’d be concerned there would be no real hope to raise the kids Catholic. It would seem there are some strikes against them already with the grandfather and parents who it doesnt look like they can reasonably be expected to practice the faith.

Most threads have varied opinions. But you kinda lose the ability to say we haven’t lived her life when you post on an anonymous internet forum for advice.

Hello friend. May I ask how old your grandchildren are? How receptive are they to you and your faith? May God bless you and strengthen you and give you peace.
 
How do their parents feel about them becoming Catholic?
If they are at the age of reason how do they feel about the Catholic Church and becoming Catholic?
 
Like I said in another thread. We only know what infornation is given. And here much was given. It’s quite common to claim another’s ignorance when the answer is what you dont want to hear.
