Can God grant a grace to someone without them knowing?

Paragraphs 1996 to 2005 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church address this very question. I highly recommend making reference to those paragraphs because the question could be answered with a 'yes' or a 'no' depending on the type of grace you're referring to.

The Catechism can be found via a Google search, but for your convenience here's the link directly to paragraph 1996: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s1c3a2.htm (scroll down a bit)
