That's a bug in the calendar app IMO. It's fully possible to make use of
the locale in a more sensible way.

Personally I like that approach. It relies on the LC_TIME locale by
default, which I think is important for those of us who don't want to
redo the same kind of setting in multiple places. At the same time you
can set it explicitly if you like.
There is another bug on this topic, so I mark this report as duplicate.

Title:
Cannot change First day of the week in calendar in 12.04
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This is present in Ubuntu 12.04, but from what I've heard, it's way
older.
I know that this relates to the locale conception, but what if I want
English language AND Monday as the first day of the week ? Right now,
if I want English, I have to use en_US locale, but this also triggers
Sunday to be set as First day of the week. Why can't I have both ?
Can't you make a simple option in the Time & Date settings panel for
the First day of the week ? It can't be that hard...
The fix I used:
1. Open a terminal and type in "gksudo gedit /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US"
2. Find the line starting with "first_weekday". The value for Monday in en_US
is 2 (Sunday is 1)
3. Change to "first_weekday 2" (default was 1)
4. Type in terminal "sudo locale-gen"
5. Reboot the computer
