In 1760, Laurent Bertholet, the village priest, rebuilt the church and had the bells recast. Dedicated to Saint Augustine in the 18th century, the church measured 15 meters long by 7.40 meters wide, with a chancel (4 meters by 3.25 meters) and a sanctuary (2 meters by 4.20 meters). The bell tower now houses three bells: Pauline, Louise, and Bernadette. The stained-glass window in the center of the chancel was a gift from Mr. and Mrs. de la Perrière. In 1789, the parish of Saint-Augustin-des-Bois was renamed, like all other parishes bearing the name of a saint. It was then called "Le Grand Bois" (The Great Wood). The grievance notebooks provide us with information about village life: “The poor abound among the hemp growers, as well as among the tenant farmers and sharecroppers scattered throughout the woods and heathland, who saw their work reduced to nothing by the invasions of does, stags, badgers, wild boars, rabbits, partridges… all sorts of predatory animals that destroy rural property.” The presbytery, for its part, was acquired by the municipality in 1825, and the cemetery was moved outside the village in 1808.

After the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Saint Mary Magdalene" is the most frequently mentioned woman in the New Testament writings. Originally called "Mary of Magdala," after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee, over time the name "Mary Magdalene" developed. According to biblical accounts, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus of Nazareth. Furthermore, according to the Gospels, Mary Magdalene is one of the three women who, after the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, wanted to anoint his body on Easter morning after the Sabbath, and she was the very first person to encounter the Risen Christ. In theology, she is therefore also called the "Apostle to the Apostles." The feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene in the liturgical calendar is July 22.
