This 13-month tear-off planning calendar runs from December 2, 2012, the First Sunday of Advent, until December 31, 2013. It is 22" X 17" and may be used as a desk blotter or hung on the wall. Its easy-to-use monthly format provides ample space for recording plans, preparations, and schedules as well as including pertinent Roman Catholic liturgical information and secular holidays and observances.
