Under certain conditions, yes:

1.) If the man was married and had children and his wife died and he then becomes a priest the children are still his.

2.) If a priest from another religion (eg: Orthodox, Anglican) is married with children and then converts to Catholicism and becomes a Catholic priest, he may remain married and keep his children.
