Because Sunday is the first day of the week, and not Monday as some people think.
Following the Dark Ages, secular publishers of calendars adopted the form used by the church and monasteries.
(See the related question below.)
Many calendars begin with Sunday because may people treat Sunday as the first day of the week. Monday, is just the first day of the working week.
However, some people follow the Biblical implication that, as the Christian Sabbath, Sunday was the last day of the week, for them some calendars begin with Monday.

Why do calendars start the week on Sunday?
Some people believe that the Bible describes Sunday as the first day of the week, so some calendar makers list Sunday as the start of the week. Most calendars in Europe start Monday as the first day of the week, as do many planner calendars, because Saturday and Sunday are described a weekends (thus, shown at the end of the week). The Bible describes the Sabbath as the seventh day of the week based on the creation of the world, since G-d created "rest" as the end of creation. Thus the Jewish religion must refrain from work every seven days and define this day as the end of the week. This day is Saturday on modern calendars. As a result, the day after the Sabbath (Sunday) is the first day of the new week. In Israel, since Friday is often taken up with preparing for the Sabbath, the "weekend" is Friday and Saturday. As a result, many schools and offices are open Sunday through Thursday. Before the five day week was set up, offices and schools closed early on Friday so that people could get home and prepare for the Sabbath. THe Catholic church took up Sunday as the "Lord's Day" because that was the day of Easter and continued with the original definition of this day as the first of the week. Since it was a "holy day" they made it and the original Sabbath the days to refrain from work and they therefore became the weekend.
