Do you not have any sort of protected weekend/PTO? Regardless, if you wanna maximize results and minimize risk, you just need to communicate earlier than later.
2 days off is not that many, even the worst cultures still have flexibility for family events. Just tell your staffer and teams ASAP.
What type of family event? If it's a wedding or funeral, definitely just ask. If it's like your cousin's birthday party, then yeah that might not be viewed too favorably.
Religious family event. I’m also quitting after the first year so don’t care too much about being the best employee
Should be good to go - being related to religion gives you a lot of air cover.
