One-sentence summary

This document describes software you can use to make a custom printed calendar easily. The software can use several languages as well as English.

Description

A calendar can sometimes be a useful ministry tool. Making a custom calendar manually using other than U.S holidays and a language other than English is too difficult and time consuming. There is software available to make this task easier. The software can be installed in several different languages and the calendar will be generated in that language. There are options for holidays from various areas of the world other than America. You can add custom Holidays for any dates you desire. There is a way to add Birthdays for significant people. There are options to make the calendar with 12 months on one page, with three months on one page or with one month on each page. The software is called Calendar Painter.
