The Coming of the Padres is a 1914 American silent short Western film directed by Lorimer Johnston. The film stars Sydney Ayres, Perry Banks, Louise Lester, Jacques Jaccard, Jack Richardson, Vivian Rich, and Harry van Meter. Motography reported that the film would be "pictorially reproducing the founding of the Santa Barbara Mission by Padre Junipero Serra. [...] The production will not be an exclusively religious one, but will introduce much of interest of early California life."
