The "Doctor of Sacred Music honoris causa" was presented in the chapel of the Archbishop's Curhaus in Vienna. Its president, Prof. Stephan Breu, praised Planyavsky's tireless and innovative efforts in the field of sacred music in his laudation.

"His openness and creativity in the further development of sacred music and also in music in general will inspire and challenge generations of young musicians," he said in his laudation. Planyavsky is a role model not only through the interpretation of existing compositions, but also through the introduction of individual traits in his famous parodies and improvisations. In addition to his musical talents as a church musician, composer and conductor, the honorary doctor also has a deep understanding of the craft as an organ builder and has successfully accompanied many important organ projects.

Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Christian University (JHPCU), named after the famous Swiss educational pioneer, is Christian and ecumenical. It cooperates with the National College of Music and Arts in London to collectively value music as a "universal language and understanding beyond cultural, linguistic or religious boundaries".

Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the JHPCU, is the Austrian Prof. Elmar Kuhn, who as a European Advisor, is responsible for contact and dialogue with German-speaking partners.

Peter Planyavsky, born in Vienna in 1947, studied organ, composition and improvisation, piano and conducting while still a student at the Schottengymnasium at the Vienna University of Music and completed his studies in 1966 with diplomas for organ and church music in 1966. He worked in an organ workshop before he Became organist in the Upper Austrian Abbey Schlägl.

From 1969 to 2004, Planyavsky was cathedral organist at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna and from 1983 to 1990 he was the overall responsible cathedral music director. In 1980 he became professor for organ, improvisation and liturgical organ playing at the Vienna University of Music. Concert tours and master classes have taken Planyavsky to many countries in Europe and beyond. He was honored with the award for music of the Republic of Austria.

 تسلّم غبطة أبينا البطريرك مار اغناطيوس يوسف الثالث يونان بطريرك السريان الكاثوليك الأنطاكي، شهادة دكتوراه فخرية من جامعة يوهان هنريخ بيستالوزّيJohann Heinrich Pestalozzi University ، الكائنة في فلوريدا بالولايات المتّحدة الأميركية، تقديراً لعطاءات غبطته وخدمته الجليلة للكنيسة والشعب المؤمن، وذلك في مقرّ الوكالة البطريركية السريانية في روما.    سلّم غبطتَه الشهادة البروفيسورStephan U. Breu  رئيس الجامعة، والبروفيسورCraig Paterson  مدير المناهج في الجامعة، وهما من فرسان مار اغناطيوس الأنطاكي.
    حضر هذه المناسبة السيد سلفاتوري المستشار الأعلى لفرسان مار اغناطيوس الأنطاكي، والخوراسقف جورج مصري المعتمَد البطريركي لدى الكرسي الرسولي، والأب رامي القبلان الزائر الرسولي في أوروبا، والأب حبيب مراد أمين سرّ البطريركية.
    أعرب رئيس الجامعة عن فرحه بتسليم غبطته شهادة الدكتوراه الفخرية في اللاهوت، مؤكّداً اعتزازه ومعه مجلس الأمناء والكادر الإداري والأساتذة في الجامعة بشخص غبطته وبالعمل الرائد الذي يؤدّيه لنشر الإيمان المسيحي وإعلاء شأن الكنيسة السريانية في العالم، فضلاً عن الجهود الجبّارة والإستثنائية التي يقوم بها غبطته لخدمة أبناء الكنيسة السريانية وبقائهم أمناء لإيمانهم وكنيستهم وتراث آبائهم وأرضهم وتقاليدهم أينما حلّوا في العالم شرقاً وغرباً.
    شكر غبطةُ أبينا البطريرك رئيسَ الجامعة ومديرَ المناهج ومن خلالهم مجلس الأمناء والكادر الإداري والأساتذة على شهادة الدكتوراه التي يعتزّ بها، سائلاً الله أن يبارك الجامعة، إدارةً وأساتذةً وطلاباً، ويكلّل جهودهم بالنجاح الدائم.
    كما تضرّع غبطته إلى الله أن  يبارك الكنيسة في كلّ أنحاء العالم، لتبقى أمينةً لإيمانها بالمعلّم الإلهي الرب يسوع المسيح، ومخلصةً لتعاليم الآباء والأجداد وتراثهم الثمين، سائلاً إيّاه تعالى أن يجعل هذه المناسبة فرصةً للخير والنجاح ومتابعة المسيرة بالخدمة بروح الرب يسوع.
    ثمّ منح غبطتُه كلاً من رئيس الجامعة ومدير المناهج شهادة الإنتساب إلى فرسان مار اغناطيوس الأنطاكي.
    والجدير بالذكر أنّ من أبرز أهداف هذه الجامعة تثقيف النشء منذ الصغر والدفاع عن حقوق الإنسان بحسب القوانين الدولية، وتخليداً لذكر هذا المعلّم الذي قضى حياته كلّها في تعليم النشء صغاراً وشباباً في سويسرا في القرن التاسع عشر، وأدخل طرقاً حديثةً في زمانه في تعليم الأطفال، وقد اتّخذت الجامعة شعاراً لها قوله الشهير: "بالتثقيف تُبنى الحياة، وبناء الحياة ليس بالأقوال بل بالأفعال".
